Art Walk + Talk in Center City

700 Market Street

About the event

We will kick off this event by meeting at the Declaration House at 7 pm at 700 Market Street to collectively experience the temporary art exhibit that is currently on display, “The Descendants of Monticello.” This is a public artwork that brings the historic house to life through a monumental montage featuring the blinking eyes of Robert Hemmings’ collateral descendants and others who are related to the over 400 people enslaved at Monticello, including descendants biologically related to Jefferson.

We will then venture over to the Independence Beer Garden at 100 S Independence Mall West, Philadelphia, PA 19106 (a block and a half away) for Sips and Small Bites where we will discuss the exhibit and the importance of representation and involvement in our democracy.

About the Philadelphia Chapter

Across cities and towns just like yours nationwide, we serve our communities by starting with bringing different neighbors together for events centered around Service, Civics, and Social Gatherings.

By rolling up our sleeves side-by-side, we can begin to see that we have more in common than what divides us; that first and foremost we are fellow Americans with a common love for our families and communities.

These Chapters – also known as our Brickyards – are mobile places for neighbors to connect and solve local problems. We do this through respectful and open conversations, and to find higher ground as we work together brick-by-brick.
