Gershman Y Attraction Details
Gershman Y
http://www.gershmany.org
The Gershman Y is located in the cultural heart of Center City Philadelphia, on what is now known as the Avenue of the Arts. Its stands proudly among theaters, restaurants, and performing arts venues as a visible, tangible symbol of the fact that arts and culture, including Jewish arts and culture, are very much alive and thriving in Philadelphia.

The mission of The Gershman Y is to serve as a dynamic regional center for arts and culture, retaining a commitment to Jewish culture and identity while appealing to a diverse audience through wide-ranging programming. This is accomplished through the innovative programs of the Jewish Film Festival, the Borowsky and Open Lens Galleries, and the Cultural Arts Program, and through cooperative ventures with a broad range of community organizations.
