Heart of Kensington Creates: Art Walk and Celebration

Join us for an art crawl celebrating a new collection of artworks installed across Kensington Avenue.

Heart of Kensington Creates is a cross-sector, community-centered arts initiative focused on collective impact—lifting each neighborhood to celebrate its identity while building on its shared Kensington pride. The initiative, in collaboration with Councilperson Quetcy Lozada’s Office and Impact Services, aims to create a series of murals, art installations, and activations along Kensington Avenue between the Huntingdon Street Station and the Tioga Street Station, culminating in August 2026.

The public art component of the project will include six large-scale murals, six smaller-scale murals/art installations, three local gallery activations, a community wide paint activity to be displayed on the Septa L line (the Gusset Plate Project), and the inclusion of the Afromation Avenue series, a collection of curated positive affirmation street signs personalized by predominantly Black/African American communities throughout Philadelphia.
