Photo Pop Philly is returning. Last year, the colors red, white & blue tied the art exhibit together. 2019 theme is Sweet Paradise.
Last May, a pop-up exhibit opened with red, white and blue Instagrammable art from local artists. On Friday, May 17, Photo Pop Philly will return, but with a new theme and at a new location for 2019.
All of the new selfie-welcoming murals and installations – there will be more than 25 – will illustrate the theme "Sweet Paradise." Artwork by 10 local artists will be featured.
As for the new home of the interactive art exhibit with endless photo ops, it's The Bourse, Old City's fancy new food hall.
Tickets for Photo Pop Philly are now available. Admission is $20 (kids, military members and groups receive a discount). When purchasing, pick a date and time.
If you want a sneak peek, Photo Pop Philly will host opening parties on May 15 and 16, ahead of officially opening to the public.
And on July 1 and July 3, from 9 to 11 a.m., admission to the art exhibit will be free as part of Wawa Welcome America.
After closing last year, Photo Pop Philly traveled to different events, like SXSW in Austin, Texas, to bring the experience national attention.
