For 14 years, Philadelphia’s Art Sanctuary (628 S. 16th St., 215-232-4485) has been providing a much-needed outlet for African-American creativity. The gallery space functions as classroom, studio and community center while striving to unite communities in an artist’s sanctuary. For the month of February, the Center is getting creative with music and literature, offering new insights into black history.
