The philly has heART podcast will take you behind the scenes of the city's art world. We will discuss upcoming performances, exhibits, and other events, programs, and initiatives that are not to be missed with those who comprise Philadelphia's art community: artists, gallerists, educators, curators, and other creatives. The art scene in Philadelphia is so rich that it can seem daunting. Consider this your cultural cheat sheet.

Philly has heart - and art!
