The Harvest

In 2008, local poets and activists Spoken Soul 215 had a passion and desire to re-shift the Philly Art Scene and community. Unhappy with the poetry scene at the time, Spoken Soul 215 Collective, which consists of Erica "RahpsodE" Hawthorne, Greg "Just Greg" Corbin, Nina "Lyricspect" Ball, Perry "Vision" DiVirgilio, Reuben Jones and Stephanie "Rhythm" Keene, decided to start their own event which would showcase local and international talent, while opening the stage to up and coming artists or those who simply have a story to tell.

The seed was planted and began to grow, attracting the interests of diverse musicians, visual artists, poets, comedians, magicians, dancers and even celebrity impersonators,

Today, The Harvest, held monthly at World Cafe Live, is considered to be the artist hub in the community which creates a platform for artists to collaborate and grow, while supporting future stars!
