PROGRAMS

The Philadelphia Folklore Project works to sustain cultural and artistic practices rooted in the histories, traditions, and everyday lives of people in the Philadelphia area. All of our public programs aim to increase respect for, understanding of, and access to local grassroots arts and humanities. In this section, read more about current and past programs: public events, performances, residencies, workshops, exhibitions, and education efforts.

We invite you to programs in our home at 735 S. 50th Street in West Philadelphia. A brief listing follows. Our exhibitions (The Crawford's Dining Room and "All that we do") are open by chance or appointment. Click on events for more details. To be added to our mailing list email us.
