About

MISSION
The North Philadelphia Arts and Culture Alliance is dedicated to promoting the diverse arts and culture organizations of North Philadelphia, and establishing this district as a destination for cultural, visual and performing arts.  We strive to inspire professional, organizational, and cross-cultural collaboration and exchange, and to promote awareness of our resources to the surrounding community and beyond through accessible literature, programs and events.  

LOCATION
In its initial phase, the North Philadelphia Arts and Culture Alliance is defined by the area from Spring Garden Street to Lehigh Avenue with North Broad Street at its core.   The Alliance boundaries will eventually extend west and east of Broad Street to include the many other arts and culture organizations outside of Central Lower North Philadelphia.

SPONSORS
The North Philadelphia Arts and Cultural Alliance is supported in part by the Samuel S. Fels Foundation and with ongoing support from the Department of Exhibitions and Public Programs, Tyler School of Art, Temple University.
