Gorgas Park in the News!

Gorgas Park is a recipient of the Performances in Public Spaces Program!  Gorgas Park will host a concert by the  Harry Walther Band. More info in the Newsworks article. 

Northwest Philadelphia scored big time when the first grantees for the city’s Performances in Public Spaces Program were announced by Mayor Michael Nutter’s office last week.

Six local arts organizations are among 23 selected recipients. Three area parks are among the 19 public spaces chosen to host performances.

A $60,000 initiative of the city’s Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy, the pilot program provides direct funding to cover the costs involved in putting on free outdoor performances in public spaces across Philadelphia.

Performances will take place between Apr. 1 and Nov. 1 of this year.
