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.
Rock to the Future’s MusiCore program is making a profound impact on Philadelphia’s youth by providing free music education and fostering a strong sense of community. Run as part of the city’s Out-of-School Time initiative, the program not only develops musical talents but also promotes social-emotional learning, collaboration, and conflict resolution.
Philly Got Barz returns for its sophomore year, following the same procedures as last year: allowing rappers from across the city to compete for a $2,000 prize in hopes of hindering gun violence.
For the second year in a row, the community of Mt. Airy will host their PorchFest, an event that utilizes resident porches as mini-concerts.
It’s down to 20 finalists competing for a $2,000 grand prize in an anti-violence rap contest called “Philly Got Barz.”
