A Fragile Ecosystem: The Role of Arts & Culture in Philadelphia's Mantua, Powelton Village & West Powelton Neighborhoods
2014
Abstract
Introduction
Arts and culture play an enduring role in the West Philadelphia neighborhoods of Mantua, Powelton Village, and West Powelton. From the community murals in Mantua to the galleries and second Friday gatherings on Lancaster Avenue to a growing annual jazz festival, there are many examples of the importance of the arts in these neighborhoods. Many arts and cultural organizations call these neighborhoods home, with major institutions like the Philadelphia Zoo and Please Touch Museum nearby. It is also an area with a high concentration of artists, yet these neighborhoods are not regarded region-wide as a hub of arts activity.
