“Tucked into the classrooms of a once defunct vocational school that has been reborn as BOK—a collective of small businesses and art spaces—today’s titans of creativity are working on a tiny scale. By day, the hive of BOK’s studios mirrors in miniature the town whose reemergence is driven by its imaginative types.”
Bok has captured the interest of Philadelphia and beyond.
The building has been featured by the New York Times, WHYY, ABC, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Magazine, and many other publications and online platforms.
When Philadelphia was named as one of National Geographic’s “Best Trips to Take in 2020,” Bok was featured as a reason to visit. The building has attracted celebrities like Questlove, DJ Jazzy Jeff, and Karamo Brown from Queer Eye.
