Empowering Creators To Do More Of What They Love
Why REC?
“It’s like a gym membership for Creators” so they say. REC stands for Resources for Every Creator. And that’s what it’s all about for us. Providing creative people with the Space, Education, and Community to pursue their creative (and often entrepreneurial) goals. We’ve been serving the local creative community in Philadelphia since 2012 & we believe creators are an asset to any thriving ecosystem. There was never a place for people like us, so we decided to create one. Our guarantee is that if you use REC, you’ll grow.

Can I tour the space before I submit this application?
You can! We are happy to have you come for a tour. You will most likely still need to fill out an application to formally join REC following the tour. The most efficient process would be for you to submit an application prior to a tour so our team knows more about you!
Why an application anyway? Why can’t I just sign up?
