Located in historic Old City, Philadelphia, the MYX Gallery is unique, multimedia space exploring themes in global cultures, diversity and tolerance through the eyes of youth artists.

The goal of the MYX Gallery is to foster a deeper understanding of these important issues in today's young people through art observation and participation.

MYX believes that cross-cultural communication among youth is the hope for a future society free of intolerance.

The MYX Gallery is part of the Multicultural Youth eXchange (www.myxworld.org). MYX is affiliated with GEM under its public foundation status and fosters cross-cultural communication among youth within our community and around the world to promote global tolerance. MYX was formed in direct response to the tragedies of September 11, 2001.
