So why are Joe and I (and SOOOOO many of the other artists that I’ve been documenting on this blog for YEARS) so focused on Election Day, November 3rd? Because Philadelphia is at a crossroads. The city is changing. It’s changing quickly. And WAY too few people are affording themselves a say in how it changes.
In the last local election (this past May), only 27% of registered voters went to the polls, and estimates for this next election are even lower.
How can so few Philadelphians care about the future of our city? And is it possible that some dynamic public art from some of our city’s most renowned and celebrated artists can help to excite Philly’s electorate? That’s something I’ve been working for the past 9 months to figure out; with a team, no less, of AMAZINGLY dedicated Philadelphians, on a project call Next Stop: Democracy!
Help us spread the word to #VoteNov3rd. Help support local artists. And, maybe most importably, ENTER TO WIN a super rare, original, and authenticated print from one of Philadelphia’s most legendary artists, Joe Boruchow!
Oh right, about those Paste Locations: the first (pictured above) is on Girard at 8th, and the second is at 22nd and Morris!
10 winners will be selected and notified (through Instagram direct message) on November 4th.
