We are proud to announce our partnership with Common Field – a national network of experimental, independent, visual arts organizations and organizers – to bring the annual Convening to Philadelphia from April 25 – 28, 2019.
The Common Field Convening is an itinerant gathering that brings together 500+ local and national arts organizers to explore the state of the field of artists organizations and to share resources, knowledge and methods for artist-led, artist-ran and artist-centered projects, spaces and practices.

Meet at Asian Arts Initiative at 11:30AM for light refreshments before departing for this guided tour led by David Kyu, Neighborhood Programs Manager of Asian Arts Initiative, from 12-2PM. Join the art spaces of Callowhill/Chinatown North for a walking tour that will trace the proposed boundaries of recent Business Improvement District proposals.
