Corner of Germantown & Allegheny Avenues (19133)

Join us for the dedication of Loving Memories, a memorial artwork honoring Michael K. Williams, Keisha Williams, Keiearra Williams, Joseph Reed, and Terrence Moore, all of whom lost their lives at the corner of Germantown & Allegheny Avenues. The artwork was composed by the Amber Art & Design collective and the Mural Arts Guild Program. The Guild, which consists of Youth Violence Reduction Partnership (YVRP) participants, worked alongside community members to design and paint the artwork. The event will feature live music, food, arts and crafts, and a dedication program led by family members and city officials. Bring your family and friends to celebrate the power of love and community in the face of unspeakable tragedy.
