POOL EXPANDS WITH SPLASH/CONCESSIONS LIVE MUSIC & FOOD EVENTS IN JULY 2022

SPLASH/CONCESSIONS is a series of musical performances held in the lanes of the former Kelly Pool and outside the Fairmount Water Works (weather permitting). Fairmount Water Works and Habithèque have partnered with artist Homer Jackson and chef and social justice activist Valerie Erwin to realize the original vision to have live performances activate the heart of the POOL: A Social History of Segregation exhibition.

These events are designed to expand the experience of POOL: A Social History of Segregation, prolong the discussion, and re-ignite interest in this extraordinary exhibition. In between thirty-minute musical sets, our Concession Stand will be open, with food prepared by young local entrepreneurs of color.

EVENTS:

Water Speaks: July 16th & 30th, 3-5pm – Keisha Hutchins Hirlinger & Doug Hirlinger Group

Trouble The Water: August 13th & 27th, 3-5pm – Philadelphia Jazz Tap Ensemble

The Price Of A Rainbow: September 10th & 24th, 3-5pm – Marcell Bellinger & Paul Giess Brass Quartet
