For Hispanic Heritage Month 2025, Creative Philadelphia, in partnership with Philadelphia City Council, issued a Call for Art to Philadelphia’s Hispanic community to submit artwork for a special Art In City Hall juried exhibition. From 215 Con Mucho, Mucho Amor asked artists to explore the complex meaning of “home”. The exhibit theme aimed to amplify the voices and contributions of Philadelphia’s Hispanic communities, and speak to cultural identity, history, and personal lived experiences in Philadelphia. Artists were encouraged to reflect on contemporary social issues, such as immigration, public safety, housing justice, and more. How have these issues impacted their sense of home? What does home mean to them? The exhibition is presented in Creative Philadelphia’s Art Gallery and in display cases on the fourth floor of City Hall near City Council Chambers.
Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15 to October 15th.
An exhibition reception is scheduled for Monday, September 15th in the City Council Caucus Room, 4th Floor, where the community will be greeted by Council President Kenyatta Johnson and Councilmember Quetcy Lozada.
The exhibition was selected by local artists Gerard Silva and Khara Garcia, with assistance from Tu Huynh, Creative Philadelphia’s curator of exhibitions and programs. The features 27 artists.
