Gather online to learn about Walk Around Philadelphia & hear stories from this February’s exploration of the city’s border. This virtual event will provide opportunities to connect with the growing community of perimeter-walkers and share your own stories from the city's edge.
(This event is open to all, regardless of whether you’ve explored any of the perimeter yet)
Since it’s 4-person artist residency origins in 2016, Walk Around Philadelphia has grown into a pilgrimage experience where hundreds (ranging in age from 12 to 94) have set out to explore the city’s border.
