WOODMERE

Art, nature, and inspiration are the heart of Woodmere.

For over a century, Woodmere has been a place where people could find creativity, and a space to connect. Founded by Charles Knox Smith in 1910, Woodmere was born from his belief in the power of art to transform lives and his vision of a sanctuary in nature for the people of Philadelphia.

But today, the world looks different than it did a century ago — and so do we.

With the addition of Frances M. Maguire Hall, we’re expanding our footprint and Woodmere is becoming a multi-facility cultural hub where art, music, and nature — past, present, and future — converge to be amplified and celebrated.

With this expansion comes a bold new identity — one that reflects not only our commitment to celebrating the past, but our mission to inspire the future. It’s bold yet welcoming, crafted to showcase the multitudes within Woodmere’s present ecosystem and to act as a magnet, drawing in the next generation of artists, storytellers, creators, and dreamers. This refreshed identity represents an exciting new chapter in which Woodmere takes center stage.

As we honor our past, we’re focused on the future — empowering the next generation of artists to find their voice, tell their story, and use art to activate the future they envision.

Together, we’re building a space where everyone is invited to explore, reflect, and grow.

Find your inspiration. Find yourself at Woodmere.
