Philadelphia Art Scene
Philadelphia and its surrounding communities have a wealth of renowned museums, galleries, and neighborhoods rich with arts events. The First Friday of every month, Old City hosts an open house of countless galleries. Free to the public, this monthly event attracts people from all walks, to appreciate and purchase contemporary and antique works. Simply strolling through the streets of Philadelphia, city dwellers and visitors alike will stumble upon extraordinary murals created by the Mural Arts Program. “MAP” has enriched various open, vacant, and mundane walls with images of community, culture, nature, and hope. On the outskirt of center city Philadelphia, Northern Liberties houses galleries, restaurants, cafes, and an outstanding Jazzhaus. The “hipsters” of this neighborhood pride themselves on the revitalization of this gem in the city. You can also visit In Liquid to find more about the working artists of this community. Worth the wait, and only happening once a year, Philadelphia also hosts the Live Arts & Philly Fringe. In sync with the beginning of the Fall semester, students will be able to see, support, or work with the Fringe. Finally, for great eats, wonderful 19th and 20th century architecture, one can also patron the open-air Italian Market, Reading Terminal Market, or Chinatown. Please visit the links to learn more.
