Join us – 40th Annual Philadelphia International Art Expo
During 2025 we will host and sponsor events and giveaways in multiple locations celebrating Black Art.
Today, with economic worries, political strife, and global conflict, we believe Black shops, galleries, and museums are uniquely positioned to offer an artful relief from what must be dealt with everyday.
Below are some of our giveaways for our promotional programs. Check your particular program for details and rules.
Gifts and prizes may vary. Substitutions may apply.
Free stuff is given away by October Gallery Museum NOT the participating businesses and venues.
