Delaware River WATERFRONT

Join us for the second consecutive flag exhibition, "States of Change." The exhibition features 16 national, international, and Philadelphia-based artists who were selected from a competitive pool of applicants to create pendant flags, which will be on display at Spruce Street Harbor Park from May 31 through August 31. All ages. Free and open to the public. 

Opening Reception: Saturday, May 31 from 2 pm - 4 pm at Spruce Street Harbor Park (under the flags along the boardwalk).

The "States of Change" outdoor exhibition at Spruce Street Harbor Park features flags that represent themes of transformation, resilience, and perception. These flags highlight the ever-changing nature of urban life and the shifting identities within communities.

Some flags use bright colors and moving images to illustrate how things can change, while others challenge the notion that things always remain the same. Some include pieces of history to help people reflect on hidden stories and how we’re all connected, especially during times of change in our cities.

Images of the sky inspire us to think about hope and kindness during difficult times, and the painted or photographed details help us discover hidden messages in unexpected places. Altogether, this colorful collection of flags celebrates creativity and prompts us to consider how our cities are constantly evolving.
