What You’ll Do in Philadelphia…
➡️ Take a private tour of Paradigm Gallery + Studio
Join our friends at Paradigm Gallery + Studio for a private tour of their current exhibitions, spanning three incredible floors of their Old City building.
➡️ Explore the immersive Magic Gardens
When mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar (1939–2026) moved to Philadelphia’s South Street in the 1960s, he saw an opportunity to not only revitalize a neglected area but transform it into a haven for creatives. He began working on what would become Magic Gardens, an immersive environment with sculpted metal, wood, and concrete forms that entice visitors through maze-like passageways crafted from glass bottles, bicycle wheels, dinnerware, architectural elements, and so much more.
➡️ Visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art
One of the largest institutions of its kind in the U.S., the Philadelphia Museum of Art features 200 galleries at its main building alone. This summer, Van Gogh’s famous “Sunflowers” will go on view.
➡️ Tour the unique Recycled Artists in Residence (RAIR) program
Since 2010, RAIR has established itself as a unique opportunity for emerging, mid-career, and established artists. By facilitating artists’ direct engagement with the waste stream, the program encourages residents to consider their studio practices through the lens of sustainability and to thoughtfully reassess how they source materials and dispose of waste.
➡️ Where you’ll stay
YOWIE is a design-forward boutique hotel, founded originally as a small design gift shop in 2016. It has since grown into a hospitality-meets-design destination that invites guests to shop, eat, stay, and explore the city’s creative side. Nestled on a sunny corner of historic South Street, a neighborhood block rich in music, art, and makers, YOWIE is a new kind of space to experience Philadelphia from an insider’s point of view. More than a place to stay, YOWIE is the neighborhood’s guest room. A spot for travelers, friends, and anyone passing through.
➡️ Bring home treasures from YOWIE’s expertly curated shop
You’ll receive a $100 gift card for YOWIE’s shop, featuring independent labels, artists, and emerging designers. Bring home one-of-a-kind gifts and souvenirs to remember your trip.
… but that’s not all. We’re also giving a lifetime membership, including a print of your choice from our friends at The Jaunt, and five Colossal merch packs with stickers, mugs, and hats!
Join Colossal today to be entered to win this fun-filled art trip.
