Moore Magazine's Spring/Summer 2026 Issue

Moore Magazine’s Spring/Summer 2026 issue celebrates a remarkable moment in Moore’s history. As Philadelphia celebrates America’s 250th anniversary and Moore marks its 178th year, we are reminded that institutions endure not simply because of their history, but because they continue to imagine what comes next. Since its founding, Moore has believed that creativity is more than artistic expression. It is a way of seeing possibility where others see obstacles, of challenging convention, and of shaping communities for the better. That spirit has defined generations of Moore graduates, and the stories in this issue celebrate that enduring impact.

In this issue, you'll meet one of Philadelphia’s most influential commercial designers, Emily Bittenbender ’89, business owners like Rosemarie Certo ’78 of Dock Street Brewery and many more. Like so many Moore graduates, Emily, Rosemarie and the other alumni in these pages understand that creativity is not simply what you make. It is how you lead and create opportunities with the potential to transform. As we steward Moore’s extraordinary legacy, we also embrace the responsibility to ensure that this institution continues to thrive for generations to come. Creativity demands curiosity, resilience, and the courage to evolve.
