The 76ers Crossover: Art Exhibition at the Fitler Club ended its run on Tuesday, November 19. The diverse and 76ers-themed art collective was full of stunning pieces, featured a trophy showcase, and contained many one-of-a-kind items. The exhibit highlighted more than 200 pieces produced by artists from 11 different countries. In a partnership with Conscious Basketball, a site that assembles and displays basketball artists worldwide, the immersive exhibition featured 76ers legends and talent from the current roster.
Philadelphia 76ers President, Chris Heck, spoke about the exhibit in length, “With ‘76ers Crossover,’ we aim to celebrate the intersection of basketball throughout the city and across the globe with all of the cultural lifestyle elements that make Philadelphia spectacular – from the arts, to music and fashion, to cuisine.”
Walking through the eye-catching exhibit, attendees were able to see a full spectrum of creativity, flair, and true artistic vision. There were Mike Scott themed skateboards, Founding Fathers themed portraits, trendy and colorful jerseys, a sculpture depicting Allen Iverson’s stepover of Tyronn Lue, and more. Whether you’re seeking a nostalgia piece, looking for new wave elements, a lover of anime, or a sneakerhead, you’ll find everything you need in this collection.
If you’re a fan who made it out to the exhibit, you had an up-and-close look at the depth of talent that was on display. Today, you can make a bid to take one of these fantastic paintings, photos, sculptures, and more home with you for a good cause. Feel free to download the silent auction app, peruse through the curated 76ers collection, and place a bid on your favorite piece. A portion of proceeds will be going to the Sixers Youth Foundation.
