STILL HAPPENING: LoLa 38 and the Penn Museum!
LoLa 38, People’s Emergency Center's creative placemaking initiative, is partnering with the Penn Museum to deepen meaningful connections with between the museum and neighboring West Philadelphia communities. We hope this initiative will broaden access to the Museum’s collections and programs around archaeology and anthropology, taking steps to increase social equity at one of Philadelphia’s top cultural attractions, while strengthening a sense of belonging for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.

Residents of the Belmont, Mantua, Mill Creek, Saunders Park, and West Powelton neighborhoods should register with [email protected] in order to receive full benefits of this program.
