Rescheduled: Heart of Kensington Creates Art Crawl

Take part in an unforgettable community event uniting creative visions and voices across Kensington!

Join us for a community-wide art crawl and celebration of public art in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood. All spring and summer, local artists and community members have been busy creating public art that aims to shift the conversation in Kensington—uplifting each community and building on shared Kensington pride. This event is the first chance to see all of the newly installed artwork and hear directly from the artists who made it.

The crawl will begin at Harrowgate Park, before proceeding along Kensington Avenue with stops at McPherson Square and local galleries. We’ll dedicate 11 brand new murals and the massive Gusset Project at McPherson Square with art activities, insights from the artists, food from local vendors, live music, and more!

11 am – Gather at Harrowgate Park, 3455 Kensington Avenue
11:30 am – Trolleys or walking tours depart from Harrowgate Park
1 pm – Dedication at McPherson Square, 601 E Indiana Avenue
1:30 pm – Afromation Ave tour in McPherson Square
2 pm – Continue to local art galleries
