Finally! After talking about the Musehouse for several years, dreaming about it, scouting locations, and wishing hard that it could happen, the dream has come true: a Musehouse right here in Northwest Philadelphia where poets, fiction writers, poetry slammers, memoirists, playwrights of all generations can find each other, classes to enrich their craft, and opportunities to share their work publicly.

My warmest thanks to all of you who have already volunteered your time and energy to this project. Clearly, it takes a village to make a Musehouse. Together, we are creating something that I believe will be valuable to the community for many, many years to come.

Special thanks to the Knights Arts Challenge for its generous matching grant and its support of the arts in Philadelphia.

Welcome, Everyone, to the Musehouse!
