Not only does the lounge provide beverages, snacks, and a place for travelers to re-charge, the LIFEWTR lounge also features a new monthly video series showcasing rising Philadelphia talent across music, film, fashion and the visual arts.
“For many years, our award-winning Airport Exhibition Program has highlighted the outstanding work of local artists through terminal art exhibits and performances,” said PHL CEO Chellie Cameron. “The LIFEWTR Lounge provides PHL with more opportunities to introduce our passengers to artists from the Greater Philadelphia region – while they are in our terminal or on their journeys.”
“LIFEWTR has always believed that nothing should limit a creator from sharing their perspective with the world. That’s why we are committed to using our platform to ensure the work of talented creatives are seen by the masses – no matter who they are or where they come from,” Rachel Prowler, Sr. Manager of Marketing, PBNA North Division. “The LIFEWTR Lounge and LIFEWTR PRESENTS series are our latest manifestations to that vision under the Life Unseen platform, and we can’t wait for PHL travelers to discover the unique talents found right here in Philly.”
