“Holy shit, I wish I’d done that.”

That’s the kind of stuff we love.

PhilaMade was founded on a principle of celebration, an attitude of positivity and a mission of inspiration. We think there should be more of it. Nothing kills the potential for great work faster than the thought that it can’t be done.

Philadelphia is our home.

And we’re proud of it. We love this city. And we want to show everyone, including ourselves, that Philadelphia can stand toe-to-toe with any other city out there when it comes to creativity and brilliance.

It’s not enough just to celebrate.

Because as solid as Philadelphia’s work is, we think it can be better. We need to push ourselves. We need to keep reaching. Great work isn’t easy and there are plenty of forces in the world that want it stopped. But we can’t give in. And we thought, you know what might help? Creating a group that understands how tough it is to fight that battle, and to celebrate the victories won.

We’re here to support the city.

We’re here to inspire people. And we’re here to drink (on happy hour nights). There’s kick-ass work to be made. Let’s get to it.

MISSION

We are creative professionals living/working in the 215 who celebrate, inspire and cultivate creative brilliance in the Philadelphia community.
