Who we are
Wednesday, November 18, 2009
NET Nights began with the question, how do we engage Philadelphia's emerging artists and art and design students as active participants in conversations about contemporary art practice while helping them to connect and network with peers, business professionals and art and design professionals?
This question, along with statistics that the majority of graduates from local art and design colleges leave Philadelphia to pursue artistic endeavors in other cities such as New York City, Chicago and L.A. were the driving force behind the creation of NET Nights at Moore.
Since the launch of NET Nights in June 2009, the program has amassed a following of students from various disciplines who attend or have recently graduated from colleges across the area - Tyler School of Art, University of Pennsylvania, University of the Arts, Drexel University and Philadephia University. A large number of emerging and established visual artists, curators, performance artists, writers along with professionals from arts organizations and businesses.
