Ministry of Awe (MoA) is a permanent immersive art institution occupying a neglected 19th century bank building in Philadelphia's historic district. Opened in early 2026, MoA reactivates the building's history by playing the institution of banking against itself, presenting an absurdist, existential bank which protects humanity instead of money. Realized through the work of over 150 artists, any notion of traditional banking unravels as Account Holders ascend six stories of maximalist expression.
