Starting with the acts of sheer grit, passion and determination which brought the club to life, the Philadelphia Union has always represented and embraced the creative spirit of this city. Artistry is woven into the fabric of Philadelphia, from the murals that line our streets to the imagination and ingenuity displayed by its makers. Philly Crafted: The Union Artist Series is our commitment to amplifying the voices of local artists across all disciplines—design, street art, sculpting, fashion, and beyond—by integrating their work into the Union community.

Through Philly Crafted, we’re not just celebrating creativity; we’re embedding it into everything we do, on and off the pitch. Whether through exclusive merchandise, stadium activations, or live art experiences, we’re ensuring that the Union remains more than a soccer club. We are a reflection of this city, its people, and the boundless creativity that fuels it.

Looking Ahead

100trans

For years, we’ve collaborated with artists to bring their visions to life through unique murals, match posters, retail offerings, in-person experiences and more, from artists like Glossblack, Kickasso, Distortedd, and Symone Salib. We have offered our platforms to creatives for meaningful cultural collaborations, beautification projects and art for the pure expression of it.

Now, we’re taking it even further. We’re establishing a formal program dedicated to highlighting and uplifting artists from all walks of life, ensuring that their craft is showcased on a grand stage in front of our city, our club, and our communities.

We're excited to announce that we've launched an artist submission form to discover and collaborate with emerging and established creators, allowing their work to become a part of the Union’s identity. This initiative isn’t just about art, it’s about building deeper connections with the people and cultures that make Philadelphia and its surrounding areas so unique.

If you are an artist, regardless of medium, we want to hear your story.  This is your canvas. This is your Union.
