Slought

For over eighteen years, Slought’s mission as an arts organization has been to engage diverse publics in dialogue about topical cultural and socio-political issues facing Philadelphia and the world. Our purpose is to bring publics together, build trust between individuals and institutions, preserve public culture in all its forms, and steward ideas and heritage for the common good. Slought presents a variety of programs each year including dynamic exhibitions and discursive events, as well as courses, film festivals, hosted events for student and community groups, after-school programs, and more. Our space, free and open to everyone, serves as a meeting ground for artists, neighborhood residents, students, faculty, young adults, activists, and others.
