About this Event

Join us at the Historical Society of Frankford for 2 hours of history and artmaking.

This project, part of the City's Semiquincentennial celebrations, shines a spotlight on the history of Northeast Philadelphia and the many small organizations that keep that history alive. Artmaking activities at each event will engage communities with the idea of individual expression in flags and and partcipants will also have an opportunity to create a project to keep.
This event at Glen Foerd Artist Bob Dix will give a brief presentation. We will also have a make & take activity.

Each participant will be asked to decorate a fabric patch to be incorporated into our NE: 250 Flags.
