SUMMARY:Historical Society of Frankford Special Event
DESCRIPTION:The Historical Society of Frankford (HSF) is pleased to host Mural Arts Philadelphia and the Tacony LAB Community Art Center Northeast 250: Threads of History community arts project on Tuesday\, March 31 at 6:00 PM at the Society’s library/museum at 1507 Orthodox St\, Philadelphia.\nThis project\, part of the City’s US Semiquincentennial celebrations\, will shine spotlights at several venues on the history of Northeast Philadelphia and the many small organizations that keep that history alive. Using the US flag as the organizing principle and creative inspiration\, hands-on artmaking activities at each event will engage communities with the idea of individual expression in flags. Participants will have an opportunity to create an artwork to keep.\nThe Frankford event will also feature an exhibit of artifacts and documents from the HSF collection related to Betsy Ross\, the woman often portrayed as the creator of the flag\, and her relatives in Northeast Philly who preserved and promoted her life story\, as well as a short presentation.\nThis event is free and open to the public. Off street parking will be available across Orthodox Street at the Frankford Friends School. Light refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s The Beautyful Ones Mural Dedication
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, October 4 | 12–4 pm | 5547 Chester Ave\, Philadelphia \nJoin us for a massive afternoon block party\, celebrating Njideka Akunyili Crosby’s new mural in the heart of the city’s Africatown neighborhood. Mural Arts and the Philadelphia Museum of Art have collaborated to bring the internationally renowned artist to Philadelphia to recreate her artwork\, The Beautyful Ones Series #1c\, as her first permanent public art installation. \nIn her methodically layered compositions\, Crosby combines painted depictions of people\, places\, and subjects from her life with photographic transfers derived from her personal image archive\, Nigerian magazines\, and other mass media sources. The resulting works are visual tapestries that bring to life the personal and social dimensions of contemporary life while powerfully expressing the complexities of African diasporic identity. \nThis Saturday afternoon event is open to the public\, with free water ice and refreshments\, live African dance and drum performances\, spirited DJ sets\, and Henna painting\, tote bag airbrushing\, and other art activations.
