SPACE 1026
1614 Latimer Street, Philadelphia
http://www.printcenter.org/
Space 1026 has been a 7 year experiment. It has developed from a handful of founders to dozens of co-conspirators. Together we are becoming Space 1026. Space 1026 is a common excitement for making, producing and creating, not for some outside world of aficionados, but for each other, for our own kind. Space 1026 is two floors of a building at 11th and Arch. That‘s in Philadelphia. It is a network of dozens of artists who‘ve had studios at the Space, past and present. It is dozens of artists who‘ve had shows at the Space over the last 7 years. It is dozens of artists who come to our events, and participate in our community. Space 1026 is a community - a creative community - not an institution.

Flux Space
3000 N. Hope Street, Philadelphia
http://www.thefluxspace.org/
FLUXspace developed alongside the growth of the artistic community at Art Making Machine Studios. The founding artists saw a need and opportunity to provide a service—in addition to affordable studio space and facilities—to the art community of Philadelphia. Since its inception, the mission of FLUXspace has been to provide a venue for experimental and groundbreaking work that might not find a site elsewhere in the city. Founded in February 2007, FLUXspace has endeavored to support innovative, bold, and thought-provoking exhibitions and projects.
