Philadelphia250 is proud to announce that we will be seeking artists to work on civic engagement projects that will help lay the groundwork for the city’s commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. We hope to unite individuals and communities behind this milestone – an opportunity to set our collective future and make Philadelphia a more equitable, just, sustainable and resilient city.

Philadelphia 250 is currently seeking five artists to help us create illustrations and design packaging for a set of playing cards that will be one of our key tools for public engagement. Artists will be paid a fee for use of their work.

The deadline for applying is August 29.

Philadelphia250 is committed to championing policies and practices of cultural equity that will support a just, inclusive and equitable commemoration of the 2026 anniversary. We will seek and select artists who reflect the diversity of Philadelphia’s creative voices and artistic approaches, including people from historically marginalized communities.
