2nd Saturday Street Art Tour: Spring Arts / Eraserhood Tickets in Philadelphia, PA, United States / SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 2017

(New ‘Spring Arts’ mural by Glossblack.)

 

Excited to announce this!

Beginning this August, StreetsDept.com will begin offering monthly street art walking tours guided by me, Conrad Benner. I’m calling them 2nd Saturday Street Art Tours, because as the name suggests they’ll take place on the 2nd Saturday of the month. And each month I’ll explore street art, murals, graffiti, public art, and interesting architecture in a different neighborhood.

First up, the Spring Arts/Eraserhood neighborhood, where a TON of great street art and pop-up murals are happening right now!

SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 2017
12:00 PM — 2:00 PM
SATURDAY, AUGUST 12 2017
4:00 PM — 6:00 PM

Get your ticket(s) now HERE (tickets are limited.) I am charging a small ticket price because these walks take a lot of time and effort to plan, organize, promote, and execute. If you’re a fan of this blog and the work I’ve put into this blog over the last six and a half years, I hope you’ll understand. And trust me, I always make my tours entertaining, filled with all the insights into Philly’s street art world that I can tell you.

Hope you’ll join me!
