Mine Moonlight: Artists Working in Philadelphia’s River Wards

An exhibit of contemporary artworks that speak to the history beneath the feet of artists working in the Riverwards neighborhoods of northern Philadelphia. Exploring the themes of hand craft, functionality, and fragmentation, these 10 installations draw connections to the origins of the artisan community that is seeing a resurgence in Northern Liberties, Kensington-Fishtown, and Port Richmond, in compliment to From the Ground Up: Archaeology, Artisans, Everyday Life, an exhibition in partnership with AECOM-Burlington that explores findings from the archaeological investigation being conducted along the expanding I-95 corridor.
