BuildaBridge is excited to host its winter 2008 signature event, IDignity. On December 2-22, BuildaBridge will be presenting an exhibition at the Philadelphia Cathedral focusing on the issue of poverty and social justice. The show will exhibit artwork from local and international artists that highlight the dignity and value of those who are faced with social, economic, and physical hardships here in the United States and abroad. Please join us as we seek to give a voice this holiday season to a marginalized population that is often ignored and silenced.
