Once emblematic of the city’s disinvestment in low-income Black communities, Sharswood is now a thriving commercial corridor with mixed-income housing and community-focused resources. From placemaking murals to poetry embedded in the sidewalks, Mural Arts’ installations honor the community’s resilience and its ongoing efforts to heal from decades of inequity alongside PHA’s transformation.About Webb PlazaThis plaza honors Webb Department Store, which operated for 50 years at 2152 Ridge Avenue and was known for its extensive record collection. The store was run by Bruce Webb, a pioneer in the retail music business, a community newspaper photographer, an inspiration and mentor to many music professionals, and a beloved community elder. He was also a leader in civil rights and veterans affairs.Photo caption: Something I Dreamt Last Night (detail) by Marian Bailey, photo by Sahiti Bonam; Rhythm of Resilience (detail) by Amir Campbell, photo by Steve Weinik; Sharswood sidewalk poetry by Anonymous. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/philadelphia/webb-plaza-public-art-celebration/100002000991962826 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Philadelphia - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Webb Plaza - **lat**: 39.9774567 - **long**: -75.1689135 - **full address**: Webb Plaza, 2077 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Webb Plaza Public Art Celebration - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/88d8a5bd6fcb5f96a046988bb11e34f216d8ffd992adc108f2a9cbc1632d6bcb-rimg-w1200-h581-dca8a8a8-gmir.jpg?v=1790220681 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Webb Plaza Public Art Celebration being held? - **A:** Webb Plaza Public Art Celebration takes place on Fri, 30 Oct, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Fri, 30 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Webb Plaza, 2077 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Webb Plaza Public Art Celebration? - **A:** Webb Plaza Public Art Celebration is organized by Mural Arts Philadelphia. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
