At Philadelphia Sculpture Gym our mission is to provide a safe and affordable space for artists and the community to create great work. We've got some work to do. With your help we will finish our electrical system and buy some amazing new equipment. This new equipment includes a lathe and an Iron Cuppolette (the closest Iron Cuppolette is in New Jersey). Let's make the Philly Sculpture Gym a reality!

FAQ
Does the business owner only get their funds if the project is successful?
View more »
Yes! Lucky Ant is an all or nothing system. This project only goes through if they reach at least their first milestone. If they don't get there, everyone walks away empty-handed.
So when I buy something, do you charge my card?
View more »
Your card won't be charged until the business reaches their goal. If the business doesn't reach their goal, your card is never charged.
When can I redeem my reward?
View more »
When the project is over, if it has funded, you will get a voucher with all the information you need to get your reward.
Does my reward expire?
View more »
Unless otherwise specified, all Lucky Ant vouchers are valid for 6 months from the day the project ends. If you need more time or are unsure, please email the project owner.
