Every now and then you need to get out from behind your computer and get your hands in some paint!

We had an absolute blast with 蔡陈林 and Xingzi Liang as we painted their mural designs celebrating Philly as a World Cup host city. The murals will be installed throughout Chinatown for all to enjoy!

Thank you to everyone who came and to Moore College of Art & Design for providing the space for us to create.

Pride is not only about visibility, but also remembrance. We wish to recognize the full spectrum of our community, including past and present board members who helped shape where we are today.

We also honor those who didn’t have the safety or opportunity to share their identities. Their names and stories may remain unknown to us, but their many contributions continue to strengthen our community
