BuildaBridge is at City Hall!

For a third time in four years, BuildaBridge is honored to be exhibiting its artwork at City Hall. This if the first time, however, that the Refugee Project has been featured on its own.

As part of the City of Philadelphia's Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, Art in City Hall is a program presenting exhibitions showcasing contemporary artwork by professional and emerging Philadelphia artists. The program strives to link visual artists with the larger community by providing the public with a greater knowledge and appreciation of their artistic achievements.

The artwork highlights BuildaBridge's roles in the Philadelphia Partnership for Resilience, the Philadelphia Refugee Mental Health Collaborative and its partnership with Nationalities Service Center's Refugee Employment and Advancement Program.

The exhibit is on the 2nd Floor of City Hall, and can be viewed until October 2, 2015.
