Painted Bride Art Center

Painted Bride Art Center is a 56-year-old organization that unites artists, audiences, and communities to push the boundaries of how art is experienced and created.

We are committed to supporting artists from all walks of life and amplifying underrepresented voices to reflect an array of experiences, perspectives and cultures, and identities.

Through the legacy of our work, we have supported upwards of 25,000 artists, hosted over 5,000 events and commissioned over 100 new works, with innumerable community workshops and educational programs as an inherent part of our programmatic approach.

Presently, the Bride is entering a bold new era that brings artists’ work into Philadelphia communities and beyond, through dynamic partnerships and creative evolution, allowing us to support powerful and provocative projects that explore adaptation, scale, and reinvention.

The Bride cultivates a welcoming environment for honest, critical dialogue and playful exchange to transform lives and communities at the intersection of art and social justice.
