Logo for the NE 250 Threads of History event series Spring 2026 to hightlight the historya nd small organizations keeping that history alive in Northeast Philadelphia.

Northeast 250 is a project of Mural Arts Philadelphia Tacony LAB Community Art Center as we recognize the Semiquincentennial Celebration of the birth of our nation. NE 250 is an event series to highlight the places and history found in Northeast Philadelphia alongside the many organizations that steward this history. At each event there will be an opportunity to learn more about the history while participating in community art making.

This project is centered around the idea of individual flags and the connections that Betsy Ross has to Northeast Philadelphia. A team of artists with ties to Northeast Philadelphia will be engaging with community to create a series of flags as well as make-and-take traditional crafts, with different activities at each event.

The event series will take place from March 2026 to July 5, 2026 and take place in different places, several of which have historical significance.

Please note the following dates and locations and check back as more will be added.
