The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage

The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage (the Center) is a multidisciplinary grantmaker and hub for knowledge-sharing, dedicated to fostering a vibrant cultural community in Greater Philadelphia. The Center invests in ambitious, imaginative projects that showcase the region’s cultural vitality and enhance public life, and we engage in an ongoing exchange of ideas concerning artistic and interpretive practice with a broad network of cultural practitioners and leaders.

Established in 2005, the Center makes Project grants in two areas, Performance and Exhibitions & Public Interpretation, while our twelve annual Fellowships provide no-strings-attached grants to individual artists working in all disciplines. The Center also awards multi-year Advancement grants to high-performing institutions undertaking bold, innovative organizational initiatives.

As a hub for the exchange of ideas and ongoing dialogue on issues critical to artistic practice, we present a lively range of activities. Our Questions of Practice research series of online essays and interviews, symposia and lectures, and in-depth publications explores evolving lines of inquiry that respond to our experience as cultural grantmakers.

The Center is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and administered by The University of the Arts, Philadelphia.
