PDP Director, Terry Fox, served on the Arts & Culture Task Force (ACTF) in Spring 2021 to help the city assess the arts landscape in Philadelphia a year into the pandemic. See the ACTF’s recommendations here. (Download Findings)
These findings can be useful in making sure that the next Philly Mayor makes Arts & Culture a strong focus of their administration.
