Like most major American cities, Philadelphia has a spectacular arts scene. Artists from all over the world come here to showcase their work and there are art shows year-round to explore. Downtown Philadelphia's art show venues range from the highly focused to general contemporary or historic art. Some, like The Museum for Art in Wood, have a specific theme. While others are general galleries that celebrate art in all forms or a particular medium, such as photography or painting.
If you're looking to host an intimate art show or gallery event in Philadelphia, consider booking space in an art gallery or museum. These venues have rooms reserved for private events of all kinds, not just art shows but also weddings,
corporate events, and parties. Gallery rooms designed for art shows will have excellent lighting built into the ceilings and floors to light up wall mounted paintings, statues on pedestals, and other exhibitions. The floor plan will also be set up in a way that encourages traffic to flow through the art show without impeding people's views of each work.
If your art show is all about sculpture then start your search with Philadelphia sculpture-focused galleries and museums. They will usually offer better amenities for your art show compared to a photography or fabric art venue.
