Opera Philadelphia

Citizenship Art Bazaar

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Lenfest Plaza

Opera Philadelphia will participate in PAFA’s The Citizenship Art Bazaar, a free, open-air market where Philadelphia visual and performing artists, civic and social justice organizations invite audiences to discover and take part in the infinite ways art informs and inspires citizenship. Join us to make art, enjoy music, soak up stories, and learn how we can put citizenship in motion through a multiplicity of perspectives.   

Live music by the Ebu Nieves Band. Booth hosts include Art-Reach, Indigenous People's Day Philly, Museum of Black Joy, Opera Philadelphia, Taller Puertoriqueño, The Citizen and many more!  

At the Opera Philadelphia booth, you can learn about several artists who use their voices to create change, like performer Paul Robeson and composer Margaret Bonds. Hear stories about these amazing artists at opera storybook time and build your own I Believe poem based on Margaret Bonds’ Credo. You can also learn about Opera Philadelphia youth programming that makes space for Philadelphia creative youth to activate their voices. 

Free admission to PAFA's Rising Sun: Artists in an Uncertain America, an exhibition on view at the African American Museum in Philadelphia (AAMP) and the Philadelphia Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is also part of the day's events.
