What The Barnes Will Mean For Philly

The Barnes move to Philadelphia is a coup for the city. Pew Trusts president Rebecca Rimmel: “We had two primary objectives: to make sure the foundation was on secure financial footing and to make sure the art and the education programs were accessible. We could have just given money to solve the first problem, but that would have done nothing for the second…. This is a public asset, something to make Philadelphia even more paramount in art.”
