Our America Now Presented by Einstein Healthcare Network

Mural Arts Philadelphia joins forces with Wawa Welcome America and the Barnes Foundation for Our America Now & Barnes on the Block! This free block party celebrates diverse multi-sensory stories and offers something for visitors of all ages—from a variety of food trucks and a beer garden by Constellation Culinary Group to art-making demos, a film screening by BlackStar Film Festival, and live performances by several notable poets, including Philadelphia Poet Laureate Trapeta B. Mayson and Ursula Rucker. Curated by We The People Stage with the Barnes and Mural Arts Philadelphia, this event is designed to inspire guests to share their own stories from this unique moment in our shared American history.

During the event, guests can also enjoy free admission to the Barnes collection and the critically acclaimed Soutine / de Kooning: Conversations in Paint exhibition. Registration is required for collection and exhibition access, and capacity is limited. Free tickets will be available online beginning at 9am on Friday, July 2. Register for a chance to win a Barnes on the Block prize package, including a one-year Contributor membership to the Barnes; four general admission tickets to the Barnes; and a complimentary virtual tour of the Barnes collection for up to four guests. Three winners will be selected by a random drawing. Additional information will be available on the Barnes website.
