Your first visit
Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.
First step: Come in during open hours, or check the gallery's event pages and come to a public evening event..
You can just show up.
What to expect
Open hours are a self-guided visit: you walk through the exhibitions at your own pace at no charge. Evening events are more social, such as a game night with board games, puzzles and snacks, or an artist party. The events page lists each event's date and time, so check it before an evening visit.
Tips for your first visit
- Enter on Norris Street, between 12th and 13th streets, inside Tyler School of Art and Architecture.
- Check the events page for the date and time before an evening visit, since evening events are not on a fixed schedule.
- For access questions, call 215-777-9090, the number the site lists for 'not sure where to start' questions; the page does not describe gallery access, so ask about step-free entry.
- Parking and transit are not described on the gallery page, so plan your trip before you go.
Newcomer welcome
Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Admission is free and the gallery is open to the public during posted hours, and evening events are open to anyone. The site does not mention beginners or a special welcome..
