STAMP (Students at Museums in Philly)! is a program of the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance, in partnership with 17 museums and attractions and a group of generous sponsors and community organizations. We want to increase teens ™ access to all of the incredible arts and culture Philadelphia has to offer, as a means to discovering their own identities and including culture in their menu of leisure-time options (as we like to say: œa movie, a mall, a museum! ). We want to change teens ™ perception of museums as places they ™re not welcome, or somewhere they only go during a field trip.
