Then you walk along South Street, a key area for art and commerce, passing galleries, shops, and decorated facades while hearing about their histories. The tour includes a visit to the Davinci Art Alliance, a community art space supporting LGBTQ and BIPOC artists through exhibitions and grants. You can see current exhibits there, and part of your ticket price is donated to this organization. As you continue, you explore the Bella Vista neighborhood around the Italian Market and Magic Gardens, observing its public art, historic homes, and gardens. You also pass through Queen Village, a neighborhood known for its historic streets and local shops. The tour concludes with 30 minutes inside Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, an elaborate mosaic environment created by Isaiah Zagar on a previously empty lot.
