GAD Philly is organizing an April community art festival to showcase local artists. They aim to raise $25,000 through crowdfunding to cover the event costs. The festival will feature different creative zones and cover two blocks of Germantown Avenue.
Philadelphia receives a $1 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies to implement Healing Verse Germantown, a public art project addressing gun violence through poetry workshops, a poetry hotline, public exhibitions, and community engagement.
