Blake DiDonato's Company Details

Painted Bride Art Center brings together artists, audiences and communities to push the boundaries of how we create and experience art. We cultivate an environment for critical dialog and playful exchange to transform lives and communities.As a risk-taking and innovative presenter of the arts, the Painted Bride offers a wide range of work – from the cutting edge to that which is simply new to Philadelphia. Spotting trends in the making, the Bride supports independent artists and the artistic process by commissioning new works and providing a forum for artists to gain synergy from each other's energy. As the avant-garde has evolved to include more issue-oriented work, so have the efforts of the Bride evolved. The Bride is especially committed to Philadelphia-based artists and to linking them to community groups and issues.For 40 years the Painted Bride Art Center has remained an artist-centered space committed to the artistic process, the artist's role in the community, and diversity. The Bride continues to address the needs of the Philadelphia's artistic communities while remaining a strongly mission-driven organization.
