Founding membership
Get in, get connected, get empowered.
CITY Trust is a mobile activation, a fine arts and fashion gallery that moves. We activate places across the city and beyond, and people get transformed while being activated. Membership is how you follow us: first word on where we land next, first in the door, workshops and a hand in the work.

What we accomplished
The Preview
The Preview, Friday, October 9, 2026, at The 1910. 250+ guests in under 10 days. Seven Philadelphia visual artists. One piece each, and the story behind it.
Our first night at the 1910: an industrial art experience and a conversation about community and empowerment. Seven Philadelphia visual artists, one featured piece each, shown in living-room capsules you can sit in, with an installation to walk through and BoxWon and Hip-Hop Fundamentals in the room.

It keeps going, activation by activation
Every activation brings a new set of Philadelphia artists to a new place in the city, and members hear first where we land next. In between: workshops, volunteer days and pop-ups. Your member portal is in final testing, and we will email you the day it opens.
