About Temple Performing Arts Center

Temple Performing Arts Center is Philadelphia's newest destination for arts, events and ideas.

Located at the heart of Temple University's campus and the northern end of the Avenue of the Arts, the Temple was built in 1891 as a home for Temple University founder Russell Conwell's congregation. The Temple is a magnificent historic landmark, repurposed today to bring new vitality to Temple's campus and new opportunities to Philadelphia's arts, culture and business communities.

In addition to being the perfect setting for a wide array of performances, events and meetings, the Temple also presents its own schedule of cultural and educational programs.
