Exciting news! In 2023-2024, the Mann partnered with leading accessibility advocate firm Art-Reach to audit its 22-acre outdoor campus with the goal of better improving the guest experience for all patrons and audience members. We are thrilled to announce that the Mann has received a $2 million capital grant from the William Penn Foundation to implement initial recommendations from this partnership, including improving accessibility on the Mann’s campus and, specifically, our entry plaza. The Mann is grateful for the support of the William Penn Foundation, as well as Art-Reach and our community, for supporting this transformational project. 📸 Sam Silkworth
About us
The Mann Center for the Performing Arts, located in Philadelphia's beautiful Fairmount Park, is a non-profit organization which continues its rich tradition as the greater Philadelphia region's premiere outdoor cultural arts center. The Mann was founded in 1935 under the name Robin Hood Dell Concerts as the summer venue for the concert presentations of the world famous Philadelphia Orchestra. The Center moved into its present outdoor facility in 1976 and subsequently was designated the Mann Music Center (later renamed The Mann Center for the Performing Arts in the Spring of 1997). The Mann Center has a commitment to education and community engagement. The Mann’s education initiatives reach tens of thousands of under-served youth in 2010 with music education and performing arts programs.
