Introducing our 2024 #PewArtsGrants recipients! Our inaugural Evolving Futures grants for organizations that are charting a path toward greater sustainability—along with funding for creative projects and individual artists—represent the Center's investment in a thriving cultural ecology in Philadelphia. These organizations' and artists' timely and compelling efforts take on important questions about the future of the cultural sector, how we forge connections when we share stories through art, and what is possible when artists are empowered to dream and bring their visions to life.
