The Athenaeum of Philadelphia is an historic and dynamic member-supported circulating library, research archive and cultural forum dedicated to harnessing our resources — our expert staff, our collections of books, art and architecture treasures and our National Historic Landmark building — to strengthen our growing community through ideas, cultural engagement and fellowship. Started in 1814 and located on Washington Square since 1847, The Athenaeum is recognized as the best place to work, study and read by Philadelphia Magazine and VisitPhilly.

Since 2005, The Roger W. Moss Symposium has attracted a national audience, a majority of whom are professionals, creatives, tastemakers and thought leaders. The symposia focus on art history, architecture, design and cultural history.

The mission of Collage Philadelphia is to host exhibitions, hold meetups among artists, and facilitate greater-good projects. The organization is set on being a player in the national collage scene and fostering a new generation of artists in the Greater Philadelphia area.

Cull, Cut, Craft is sponsored by The Roger W. Moss Symposium Fund, Poor Richard's Charitable Trust, PNC Bank, and Collé.
