Welcome to JOY RIDES: Germantown!
Get ready for an experience with the inaugural JOY RIDES: Germantown! A tour conceived by Temple Contemporary gallery and co-created by the Tyler School of Art and Architecture's Alumni Association, we aim to take you on a journey to Greater Philadelphia's hidden gems in art and culture.
Joy Ride: Germantown Exploration
Join Temple Contemporary and the Tyler Alumni Association for a guided bus tour exploring Germantown's vibrant arts and culture scene. This collaborative event strengthens connections between Tyler students, alumni, and Philadelphia's creative community through shared cultural experiences.
Our "Hidden Gems & Unexpected Spaces" tour will visit:
- Ubuntu Gallery
- The Colored Girls Museum
- City Art Salon
- Notable murals throughout Germantown
The experience includes expert facilitators providing context and insights, student documentation capturing the day, and a post-tour reception featuring food, drinks, and conversation with local artists in a salon-style setting.
Whether you're a recent graduate, seasoned alum, or current student, Joy Ride offers a chance to discover lesser-known cultural spaces, connect with the Tyler community beyond campus, and engage with Philadelphia's dynamic artistic landscape.
