community involvement
Our neighbors are very important to us.
We believe in the power of art, and the ripple effect it has across the city of Philadelphia.

THANK YOU!
to our September 2024 show outreach partner...
The Friends of Rittenhouse Square is a membership-driven organization that works to preserve, protect, and beautify Rittenhouse Square for all to enjoy.
​
The Square has not lost its original character largely because of the businesses and individuals who make up the Friends of Rittenhouse Square. The Friends have taken on the bulk of the financial responsibility to sustain Rittenhouse Square, ensuring the park and neighborhood remain vibrant.
​
Planned in 1682 by William Penn and his surveyor Thomas Holme, it is the fourth oldest park in the US. Of the five Philadelphia parks they planned, it is the only one to continuously retain its original intent: an urban square to be used as a place of retreat & respite.
And while you're in the center of the park, take time to visit the
Student Artists, or join in our multi-generational Community Art Activity!
