Created in honor of our 60th anniversary, "The Heart of Philadelphia Ballet" is a collaboration between iconic Philadelphia pop artist Perry Milou and Philadelphia Ballet alumni, students, company members, board and emeritus trustees, staff, family, and friends.

This one-of-a-kind artwork was made with a curated paint-pouring process at the 5th Annual Spring Festival at Red Rose Farm in May 2024. The colors of the painting came together to create the Heart of Philadelphia Ballet - a unique celebration of our past, present, and future.

The final painting was finished with hand laid gold leaf and sealed with resin by Mr. Milou in his Lambertvile, NJ studio.
