Al-Bustan is pleased to announce that we will be moving from a home-based office to a storefront location at 3645 Lancaster Avenue in West Philadelphia. This space will serve as our administrative and programming hub!
We’re excited to build relationships with neighboring residents and business owners of Powelton and Mantua. We look forward to partnering with cultural, social service, and other neighborhood organizations in the co-creation of arts and building a welcoming place for all.
