Facilities and Location

APT is housed in the newly renovated Crane Old School, a 19th century focal point of the infamous Nativist Riots located at 1425 North Second Street (between Jefferson and Master) in Philadelphia. Set directly adjacent to St. Michael's Church, the building sits against the church's cemetery, with its beautiful sycamore trees creating an urban oasis. APT is located in two studio spaces in the building. Each studio has been renovated to have more than 1,500 square feet.

The Crane Old School is also a home to an eclectic array of visual artists, graphic design studios, and other arts organizations; together with the Crane Arts Building only a block away, it forms the centerpiece of a rapidly-emerging arts district.  The school is a three-block walk from the nearest subway station, and students have easy access to the thriving cultural and nightlife opportunities located in nearby Northern Liberties and Fishtown.
