Our mission is to creatively re-imagine the social function of art. We believe that democratic leadership is the most appropriate way to produce an artistic program that inclusively responds to pressing issues of local and national significance. This democratic ethos is embodied by a forty-member advisory council of neighboring high-school students of color, Temple University students and faculty, as well as civic/cultural leaders representing a range of skills (nurses, farmers, philosophers, artists, community activists, historians, etc.). To each annual meeting every adviser brings one question that they do not know the answer to.  It is out of these questions, and the debates they provoke within the council that determines Temple Contemporary’s programming.This process grounds us in a position of public service to address contemporary questions of urgency and simultaneously necessitates a fundamental philosophical shift for the organization: from a single curatorial/authorial voice to one that recognizes social engagement and debate asthedetermining factor of our programming. This re-ordering of conventional gallery values foregrounds curatorial accountability, reciprocity, and exchange, as the basis of Temple Contemporary’s social life, and our social values.
