The long-vacant Germantown High School has been transformed into the luxury Annex at Germantown apartment complex, sparking mixed reactions from the community as new residents begin to move in.
Historic Germantown’s annual Hall of Fame Ceremony will be on June 7. It will honor Northwest Philly changemakers Steve Kurtz, Sara M. Lomax, and Ursula Rucker at the Commodore John Barry Arts and Cultural Center in Mt. Airy.
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.
