Are art schools over?
Two standalone art schools, Delaware College of Art and Design and University of the Arts in Philly, shut down at the end of the school year with no warning.
I started to wonder: Are small, independent art schools still viable? Was it because of COVID? FAFSA? I talked to people in and adjacent to the art school world to find answers.
Philly founder tries again with Workup app
A serial entrepreneur who previously worked on a distracted driving prevention app is back with his next venture, this time targeting the health and wellness space. Ryan Frankel launched the platform Workup, an aggregator of health and wellness information and brands.
Workup lists different health-related categories such as mental health, nutrition and sleep that users can browse or search for. It’s similar to travel sites that show you options for flights, hotels and any other reservations you may need, according to Frankel.
