COLLAGE ON VIEW
Voices of Diversity: Connecting through Collage
at Philadelphia City Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
2 May-7 July 2025
Starting in 2022, Philadelphia CollageWorks has engaged in a citywide undertaking to demonstrate the power of collage and forge a connection between diverse groups. Fourteen community partners hosted eighteen events during which diverse groups created 5″x5″ collage squares. Every participant joined together, making art in profound and personal ways.

The art of collage provided an opportunity to express emotions, share ideas, extend a message and have fun. The result is nearly 500 squares, each a unique expression, coming together on the north wall of the 5th floor gallery at Philadelphia’s City Hall, in a quilt-like display that is the outcome of a 5″ square-making event for World Collage Day 2022 held at DaVinci Art Alliance. The artwork of Philadelphia CollageWorks members is on display on the south wall of the 5th floor gallery.
