Are you interested in starting a creative or cultural business in Philadelphia? Looking for the right resources, connections, or support systems to help bring your ideas to life—or strengthen the work you’re already doing?

Join us for this Third Thursday gathering focused on the organizations that help fuel the city’s cultural economy. This event will bring together a range of support organizations that provide resources, guidance, and infrastructure to artists, venue operators, small business owners, and creative entrepreneurs.

Throughout the evening, participating organizations will host information tables and booths, giving attendees the opportunity to meet directly with the people behind the programs that support creative work in the city. The program will also include a brief 20-minute showcase, where each organization will introduce their work and share how they support artists, venues, and cultural businesses.

Presented in collaboration with the Philadelphia Department of Commerce, this event is designed to help attendees better understand and access the ecosystem of support available for creative and cultural ventures in Philadelphia.

Third Thursdays at CultureWorks convene practitioners, leaders, and neighbors for conversations about the forces shaping Philadelphia’s cultural sector—and the shared work required to keep it thriving.
