GATHERINGS
Gatherings are a way to acknowledge and celebrate our traditions and collective efforts in our Market. Since October 2020, we have offered several events that involve performances, tours, and a block party.
The "Honoring Our Ancestors" features footage of the Market in 1937 along with a performance with Orchestra 2001 showcasing musical compositions featuring life, loss, transitions, enlightenment, and memory. The main goal for this event was to open a space of collective grieving during the pandemic as well as using music to bring light and honor to our Market loved ones as a way of elevating their spirit.
“Our Market” Project is supported with lead funding from the William Penn Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Mural Arts Program. Additional support is provided by the Leeway Foundation in partnership with the Bella Vista Neighborhood Association and Philadelphia250 and Visit Philadelphia. Past support has been provided by the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures Catalyst for Change Grant , Art is Essential Grant, and the Southwest Folklife Alliance.
