It’s another big win for the Department of Making + Doing (DMD), University City’s newest hands-on workshop.
The effort won a $150,000 grant from ArtPlace America. It was one of four Philadelphia organizations to win grants from ArtPlace, a collaboration of national foundations that supports arts initiatives.
A partnership between The Hacktory, Breadboard, Public Workshop and NextFab Studio, the DMD will use the money to design and build a temporary structure along Market Street, according to a release.
So far, the DMD has seen support from the Knight Foundation ($100,000 from its Arts Challenge) and Cognizant.
