Hey Philly Artists! Interested in creating a piece for our upcoming exhibit? Spend your newfound free time creating a piece inspired by Freedom! See more info below!

In the news and online, we're seeing lots of restrictive words like "quarantine," "confine," "isolate," etc. What we aren't talking about is the freedoms that come with these restrictions. We have our nights to ourselves. We have our weekends back. We have time to look within ourselves. We have time to pursue hobbies of self expression we otherwise wouldn't have.

This week, we're challenging our fellow Philadelphians to create something that pertains to "freedom." Whether it's a painting, sculpture, video, song— whatever. We want to see your artworks at various stages of completion, so use the hashtag to share your photos with us & other artists. If you're proud of your piece, you can use the link below to submit your artwork to be considered for our upcoming "Philadelphia's Freedom" exhibition, comprised completely by local artists!
