The National Constitution Center presents...Spring Fling!

Let your creative freedom ring with the National Constitution Center’s Spring Fling, an all-out celebration of the First Amendment through artistic expression.

The Spring Fling is part of the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA), and runs from Thursday, April 14 to Sunday, April 17.

Every form of art is covered, from performance art to chalk art. All events during the Fling aim to “explore freedom of expression through Parisian and American art forms of the early 19th and 20th centuries.”
Visitors can watch screenings of films such as Martin Scorcese’s A Letter to Elia, about the controversial film and stage career of director Elia Kazan. Jazz trios, French pop groups and Irish quartets are on hand to serenade the crowd throughout the day. A mural artist will be creating a sidewalk mural inspired by Paris, and you’re free to grab a piece of chalk and participate alongside it.

And in the spirit of all things free, all Spring Fling events are free of charge with museum admission.
