PC02-The Origins of Philadelphia Street Art – Cancelled

Saturday Oct 19, 2024
1:00 pm to 3:30 pm
Mpact Transit + Community 2024 $25

Update, October 16: This tour is cancelled. If you signed up for it, you will receive a refund. Apologies! 

Tour the origins of modern street art in Center City Philadelphia. Sites will include closed-to-the-public sections of the Broad Street Concourse and Spring Garden Station. See original tags by artists including Cornbread, Espo, Agua, and others. Each of these artists comes with a story. Together they provide a window into a street art scene that is distinct from the Philadelphia Mural Arts organization, which arose out of reactions to street art and in the “anti-graffiti” movement.
Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get a little dirty.
Please note: This tour is not ADA accessible.
