Finally on 13th
November 9, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A mural dedication celebrating the new Finally on 13th mural that highlights the 30th anniversary of Philadelphia ballroom culture.
A dreamchild of applicant Jacen Bowman and the many members of Philly’s Ballroom scene, Finally on 13th celebrates the 30th anniversary of Philadelphia ballroom culture. This mural, designed by Nile Livingston, will stand alone as the Gayborhood’s first mural, honoring this rich practice of Ballroom that has recently become mainstream. The mural is the first in Philadelphia to celebrate black queer culture in a neighborhood steeped with that history which is fast impacted by gentrification. The mural will be dedicated on November 9, 2023 , on 13th Street between Pine and Spruce Streets. We will celebrate with a neighborhood block party with food, music, and fun.
