about
Collective Futures
is a six-week, citywide project activating Philadelphia’s network of artist-run spaces, DIY venues, and community-based initiatives. This collaboratively organized project bringing together more than 30 independent spaces and organizations, Collective Futures will unfold across the city through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and public programs from Kensington and North Chinatown to West Philadelphia, Fishtown, and Old City, between October 2 and November 15, 2026.

At its core, Collective Futures centers collective practice as a vital mode of cultural production. Across disciplines and contexts, the project highlights how artists come together to build shared platforms, experiment with new forms, and sustain creative communities.

Taking place during the 250th anniversary of the so-called United States, while many institutions in Philadelphia conjure programming around the complex histories of nation-building and democracy, Collective Futures highlights the artistic experimentation and alternative models that grassroots cultural spaces have long been building

Collective Futures is grounded in the specific conditions of Philadelphia, where a rich ecosystem of artist-run and DIY spaces has made collaborative cultural production possible. As rising costs and development reshape the city, the project affirms the importance of collective cultural life and the infrastructures that sustain it, so that our work can mobilize resources, deepen connections, and envision transformative futures.

Opening reception October 3rd 2026

Keith Greiman and Jarmel Reitz encourage people to look at how far we haven’t come with all new collaborative works. The people we break bread with or the way we choose to button our blazers has ripples and holds meaning. We decide what is sometimes, always, or never during this pretty mean circumstance that we exist in.

About Fairmount House

Nestled away in the charming Northern Liberties neighborhood of an always sunny city, Fairmount House is one of Philadelphia’s most sought-after house galleries offering local artisans, creatives, and purveyors a safe haven built for self-expression.

The expansive space welcomes the general public, with its clean lines and energy, to a continuous roster of dynamic exihibitions, experiences, and events carefully curated to provoke excitement and emotion, thought, imagination, and wonder.

Built for the community and by the community, Fairmount House proudly serves as a second home to the multi-passionate, multi-disciplinary creatives that make our city so great.
