Hello there! I am a recent University of the Arts graduate, and a handful of us recent alumni are trying to get together and rent out a collective art studio in Philadelphia! Our university liquidated itself two weeks after my graduation, so all of the benefits that we were promised for community and networking have been ripped out from underneath us. So, we’re trying to create a space to create art, network, and collaborate with likeminded creatives ourselves! We’re calling it The Matchbox Collective. So, if you’re able to donate anything to our passion project, that would be incredible. Our goal will go directly to the deposit for the studio of our dreams! The arts (and us) thank you.
