Philadelphia International Institute & PII Gallery
The PII Gallery features work from around the world, focusing primarily on Eastern European and American contemporary art. On the first Friday of every month a new exhibit premieres, and the Gallery's doors open to a crowd of international and local art lovers, as well as the casual passer-by. The Gallery has developed a reputation for providing something otherwise unavailable in Philadelphias gallery district -- a consistently strong selection of international artists working in textile design, printmaking, painting, sculpture and photography. The Gallery has recently expanded to include an annex, devoted to showcasing local and international emerging artists. Located in a centuries' old building in historic Old City neighborhood, the gallery, that Institutes cultural exchange program, is perfectly situated to serve people from a wide array of cultures.
