Check out the grand opening of a new public art exhibit, Philadelphia Black History: The People's Stories, observing Black History Month. It features 44 local artists whose works are represented as vinyl square tiles displayed in the hallways of Philadelphia’s City Hall. Organized by the city’s Office of Arts, Culture, and the Creative Economy, it’s an artistic tribute to deceased Black Philadelphians who contributed to the history of Philadelphia. The exhibit is inspired by 5,000 forgotten souls buried at the rediscovered Bethel Burying Ground, a 19th-century Black cemetery, in the Queen Village neighborhood. That’s where a future public art memorial, by artist Karyn Olivier, will be installed to tell the decedents’ untold stories. Enjoy a brief kickoff program with remarks by City of Philadelphia officials, followed by a chance to tour the exhibit, and snack on refreshments. Kickoff & exhibit viewing: 5:30 p.m. EST to 7:30 p.m. EST, Free, but register in advance; (Arrive early at the northeast corner visitor’s entrance of City Hall to go through building security.)
