Description: The Office of Arts, Culture and The Creative Economy (OACCE) supports Philadelphia’s arts, culture, and creative industries through partnership, promotion, and education. OACCE partners with for-profit and nonprofit organizations and City offices and agencies to ensure culture and creativity are essential components of the City’s strategies for revitalizing and engaging communities, improving educational outcomes, and spurring economic development. It promotes resources and programming in the city’s neighborhoods and closes the gap in access to quality arts experiences. They regularly promote free, public cultural events throughout the city, including Philly Youth Theatre Festival. They also provide an online written guide to Philadelphia’s public art, and CultureBlocks, a free online mapping tool showing cultural activities happening across Philadelphia.
