About Barnes North
Starting in summer 2025, Barnes North will introduce artist-led experiences centered on joy and wellness to North Philadelphia neighborhoods. This new initiative builds on the success of Barnes West, our creative placemaking program serving West Philadelphia since 2018. Celebrating North Philly’s vibrant neighborhoods and unique voices, Barnes North will foster new connections between artists, residents, businesses, and agencies that are deeply invested in uplifting their own communities.
What’s On
2025 Everyday Places Artist Partnerships
CALL FOR ARTISTS | CALL FOR PLACES
Artists are at the core of our community-centered work. This summer, we’ll select a group of artists to partner with “everyday” locations in the neighborhood—including public parks, civic centers, and community organizations—to build interactive, participatory projects that engage with the business or site and residents. Are you a North Philly–based social impact artist ready to join our inaugural cohort? Apply now through April 11.
