The scholarship was created Art & Design Center Opens for Fall Start The Harcum College Art & Design Center opened its doors to the next generation of artists and designers in time for the new school year. The center allows Harcum to bolster its historic strengths in art and design instruction by consolidating all related degree programs in one larger space while accommodating for the growth of new and recently adopted degree programs. Harcum has leased the former American College building, an award-winning building, at 270 S. Bryn Mawr Avenue, roughly seven-tenths of a mile from the larger campus. The Center also houses Harcum’s Partnership Site offices. “The Art & Design Center offers the ideal learning environment for Graphic Design and Photography, two Antonelli programs now offered through Harcum,” said John Hayden, Vice President of Institutional Advancement at Harcum and former president of the Antonelli Institute. An October 7 ribbon cutting and grand opening included building tours was well attended. More information will be available in the next issue of Patches, featuring more photos and stories from Harcum’s newest instructional space.
