Expanding Sanctuary is a first round of awardee of the ART IS ESSENTIAL program run by the PHDC Public Art Committee and the Knight Foundation.
ART IS ESSENTIAL: Philly Artists Connecting Communities is an initiative intended to put artists at the forefront of the conversation about the role of public art in communities. ART IS ESSENTIAL was conceived as an opportunity for artists to respond, react to and reclaim how communities work together to address the problems we face today.
