Picture yourself in Philadelphia. There’sno better place to express yourself.
As you begin to think about where it is you want
to spend your college years, consider this: half of
your education will take place off campus.
This might mean internships, courses taken at
other schools, research at art museums or volun-
teer work with a local theater group. Or it could
mean going to a rock concert, checking out the
new exhibit at the local art gallery or enjoying a
sumptuous meal with your friends at an ethnic
restaurant. No matter what your idea of off-
campus inspiration is, make sure the school you
choose is near the center of all the action, where
the music never stops and learning doesn’t come
to a screeching halt at the campus gates.
Doing otherwise is like painting a landscape
using only one color; performing a play in an
empty theater; making a movie without a sound-
track. You can do it, but there’s no magic.
The magic is in Philadelphia.
Here it’s impossible not feel the creative energy.
It’s in the vaulted halls of the Philadelphia Museum
of Art, home to some of the world’s greatest mas-
terpieces. It’s in the air every night of the week on
the Avenue of the Arts. It lines the walls of the old
warehouses that have been transformed into
ground-breaking art galleries in Old City. It’s heard
in the intoxicating rhythms of the open-air concerts
at Penn’s Landing and in the bustling clubs on
South Street.
SOUTH STREET
PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART
“South Street is the
gathering place for all
students. It’s our com-
munity center.”
-R.B. , Char les ton, SC
“The city has saved
me from living in a
campus bubble. It is
so rich in culture and
history that I love to
get out of my dorm
and explore!”
-D.K. , Accra , Ghana
No matter what your
idea of off-campus
inspiration is, make
sure the school you
choose is near the

Philadelphia is an art
student’s paradise.
It’s evolving into one
of the greatest con-
centrations of art
institutions in the
country. “Philly is not only
big and beautiful but
it also has real charac-
ter. I like the free art
exhibits at First
Friday.”

“Philadelphia gives me
the whole East Coast
experience. I’m right in
between New York City,
Washington, D.C. and
the Jersey Shore...and
Boston is relatively
close.”
-S.Y. , H i rosh ima, Japan
▲
And it emanates from the 250,000 college
students who call the region home, who live and
learn and play in one of the country’s most exciting
and inspiring centers of art, culture and education.
You’ll be hard pressed to find this kind of energy in most cities.
Philadelphia is an art student’s paradise. It’s
evolving into one of the greatest concentrations
of art institutions in the country. Few cities in the
world rival its collection of outdoor art and murals.
Twelve local daily and weekly newspapers, eight
TV stations, over 30 radio stations and five maga-
zines are located in the area. And Philadelphia’s
performing arts venues range from the opulent
1855 Academy of Music to the brand new $265
million Kimmel Center, housed under an awe-
inspiring glass-barrel roof.
The scenery in the city ranges from the shimmer-
ing glass towers of the financial district to the
Rodin statues and bike paths of Fairmount Park,
the largest landscaped city park in the US. And it’s
in the center of the East Coast’s cultural corridor,
perfectly situated between Washington, D.C. and
New York City.
There are so many different institutions of higher
learning in Philadelphia it truly feels like “one
big campus.” Major universities, fine arts acade-
mies and intimate liberal arts colleges. Urban
schools and suburban schools. Everywhere you
look, there’s an endless array of guest speakers,
special lectures, school galleries and museums
to choose from.
In Philadelphia, you don’t just graduatewith a degree. You graduate with a career.
This is a city that’s constantly pushing the enve-
lope. Here paintbrushes and computer pixels
combine in stunning new artistic mediums. It’s
a city where experimental art flourishes alongside
classical masterpieces. And the former stomping
grounds of revolutionaries like Dizzie Gillespie
and Miles Davis are now producing the newest
voices of the hip-hop phenomenon, like the Roots
and Eve.

Animation. Stagecraft. Multimedia. Scriptwriting.
Industrial Design. New Media. Computer
Animation. Web Design. Interior Design.
Filmmaking. Architecture. Creative Writing.
You name it and you can do it in Philly.
Whatever your medium, Philadelphia is the perfect muse.
The Philadelphia region is a blank canvas ready
for the visual artist’s creative outpourings. Maybe
you want to work alongside professional artists in
a private studio. Maybe you want to create one of
the beautiful neighborhood murals which brighten
every community in the city. Or maybe you want
your work to be hung in a downtown art gallery.
In this city, anything is possible.
Some students find themselves performing side
by side with The Philadelphia Orchestra, one of
the most renowned orchestras on the planet, or
with Philadanco, one of the leading modern
dance companies in the country. Others spend
their days managing every aspect of a professional
theater company, as part of a “theater boot camp”
designed especially for Philadelphia students.
Then there are those working with locally-run
recording labels, recruiting talent, marketing artists,
and working in the same studios used by Moby
and the Fugees.
And if you want to strike out into uncharted
artistic territory, Philadelphia is the perfect place
to do it. When the city needed bike racks to be
designed for the Avenue of the Arts, it called on
the imagination of its college students, and the
results were shark fins, fake tree trunks and
other inspired creations.

And every year students at one local art school
take to the streets of Philadelphia, distributing
posters, t-shirts and buttons as part of a city-wide
campaign to tell people to “Go MAD” with creativity
and spontaneity.
This is not to say Philadelphia is all work and no
play. In fact, you’ll be hard pressed to find a place
brimming with more ways to let loose, chill out, or
get the adrenaline pumping than Philly.
Boredom is not an option.
There’s always live music to be found at venues
like the Electric Factory, the Khyber and the Tin
Angel, and clubs like Brasil’s, the Five Spot and
Shampoo keep you dancing all night long.
Philadelphia has become the home of America’s
culinary renaissance, where master chefs prepare
mouth-watering creations in restaurants recog-
nized worldwide. And it’s never hard to find a
place to ride your bike, go for a jog, or soak up
some sun, since there are more public gardens
here than anywhere else in North America.
Perform or Patronize: Your choice.
Artists from far and wide flock to the city’s annual
festivals, ranging from the Fringe Festival, a
mind-bending celebration of genre-shattering art,
to the Philadelphia Film Festival, where the next
generation of Scorceses and Spielbergs showcase
their stuff.
