Philadelphia is large and contains multitudes.
Since 2016, Walk Around Philadelphia has evolved into a citywide public program that has facilitated the exploration of the city’s furthest (and wildest) reaches for hundreds of Philadelphians ranging in age from 12–94. This exhibit features images from the city’s edge created by artists who’ve set out to explore the city’s margins on foot.
Hours:
The exhibit is open during Studio 34's regular community lounge hours:
4:30-7:30pm Mon-Fri, as well as 10am-2pm on Wednesdays.
You can also check out the exhibit anytime that events are happening at the Studio, or pop in for a quick visit during the registration times ~15min before any of the regularly scheduled classes.
Accessibility note:
Studio 34 is up one long steep flight of stairs.
