The Sachs Program

“It goes by fast,” displayed at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

The arts spark curiosity and conversation, interaction and innovation – across our campus and throughout our community.

At Penn represent both personal inquiry and collective responsibility: they cultivate individual voice while acting as a powerful vehicle for collaboration, civic engagement, and world-making.
