Temple Contemporary and a host of community organizations are undertaking a yearlong project designed to honor the city’s forgotten homes.

If you climb to the top floor of Temple's Tyler School of Art in the middle of the night at almost any time of year and walk into the expansive painting studio, you'll probably find senior Jordan Artim at work on one of his large, colorful canvases. In this installment of the student profile series, meet a student who lives to paint.

Two Tyler School of Art students worked with Philadelphia’s Mural Arts Program last semester to help restore a faded sign for the Henssler Locksmith Company, at 13th Street and Girard Avenue. Restoring such ghost ads has become a popular pursuit for preservationists across the U.S., and Tyler students hope to play a larger role in Philadelphia.

Tyler School of Art students swept top honors at 20th Annual Collab Student Design Competition, held in conjunction with the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Their challenge: Either redesign and repackage an existing, iconic game or design a game of their own.

The art gallery at the Tyler School of Art once known as Temple Gallery has a new name — Temple Contemporary — and a window full of neon signs. But the biggest changes are within, where Tyler Director of Exhibitions and Public Programs Robert Blackson has redefined the art gallery experience for visitors and enlisted the Temple and Philadelphia communities' to keep programming relevant.
