Every April, Everyday Futures Fest celebrates the unique talents and interests of inquisitive people of all ages around Philadelphia through sustainability-centered arts and science events. The Fest showcases the rich cultural diversity of our city by providing a free platform to experience art, performances, workshops, film, and more. While Philly continues to face ongoing issues related to climate change, waste stream management, violence, and gentrification, there’s incredible people in our city finding innovative solutions for these challenges. Everyday Futures Fest was created by community members as an opportunity to learn from each other and take steps towards uniting ourselves across neighborhoods to tackle issues together.

Each year, the fest centers its thematic focus on a different aspect of sustainability, emphasizing the crucial intersections between environmental justice, cultural identities, and urban sustainability. At its heart, Everyday Futures Fest is a collaborative initiative between creative people across the city, facilitated by the Da Vinci Art Alliance, a longstanding intergenerational community space and art gallery in South Philly. Everyday Futures Fest is a space for world building and envisioning together how to create a better future through science and art.
