WHO WE ARE:

Off the Wall Gallery is one of Philadelphia’s first non-traditional art spaces. Our formal founding year is 1978 but our roots date back to the 1940s when Dirty Frank’s began inviting local art students to hang their work. The gallery embraces emerging artists, avant-garde forms, strong personal and political perspectives, and fresh ideas.

The Midwives Collective & Gallery is a 21st-century women’s collective formed for the purpose
of fostering community art making, culture and the creation of art history by maintaining a
public arena for the display and practice of innovative, emerging art.
