Tthe Crane Arts Building, a hybrid organization, is home to brand new artist studio spaces and creativity-based commercial suites. It contains the Ice Box Project Space, which has changed the dynamic of the arts in Philadelphia, its 5,000+ square foot gallery is unlike any other space in the region in terms of its size. Crane Arts and the Ice Box are breathing new life into an overlooked area of Philadelphia and creating opportunities for artists to create and exhibit their work. The Crane building is located two blocks North of Girard Avenue. Traveling East on Girard Avenue, turn left onto American Street just before the 2nd Street stop light.
