On Friday, October 5th, James Peniston’s “Keys To Community”, a nine foot bust of Benjamin Franklin, and over three years in the making, will be dedicated in Old City. Comprised of over one thousand keys donated by elementary school students, which were incorporated into the surface of the work, a ton of bronze, and nameplates from fallen Philadelphia firefighters dating all the way back to the 18th century, this sculpture connects people of all ages past and present, living and deceased, from Philadelphia.

The sculpture will be located at 4th and Arch St, about one block east of Ben Franklin’s gravesite.

You can visit Peniston’s official website to see the work in progress, as well as an artist’s rendering of the sculpture in place. Dedication takes places on Friday, October 5th @ 10AM.
