CultureWorks Lightning Round ⚡
A 3-day campaign to power Philly's vibrant cultural community
Culture is creativity.
Culture is community.
Culture is the connective thread that holds us all together.
In challenging times, our communities depend upon cultural ingenuity and tenacious advocacy. CultureWorks’ Lightning Round campaign will ignite energy and momentum in Philly’s cultural ecosystem — by directly supporting the storytellers, organizers, and creative changemakers who amplify underrepresented voices and drive social impact.
📅 May 13-15, 2025 – For three days, we’ll be sharing the stories of CultureWorks members and inviting YOU to invest in the people and projects shaping a more equitable and vibrant Philadelphia.
