Our MissionInternational House Philadelphia is a multicultural residential center, a source of distinctive programming, and the embodiment of an ideal. It has a critical three-fold mission: to maintain a diverse and welcoming community for scholars from around the world, while introducing them to the American experience; to broaden the horizons of its Residents and the larger community through high quality international arts and humanities programs; and to encourage cooperation and respect among the peoples of all nations.

“�IHP�is�for�people�and�about�people.�While�IHP’s�success�can�be�reflected�in�numbers�and�program�results,�over�time�success�is�measured�really�by�how�we�touch�and�affect�people...”

Greetings!International House Philadelphia’s 2010 fiscal year set the stage for what is our Centennial. Throughout our 100-year history, IHP has enjoyed active participation from all of our constituencies – our excellent staff, our dedicated Board, the Members and participants of our residential and cultural services, the community in Philadelphia we serve, and the many corporate, foundation, and government organizations which help support our daily activities.

IHP is for people and about people. While IHP’s success can be reflected in numbers and program results, over time success is measured really by how we touch and affect people – our Residents (some 800 people pass through our doors each year for stays varying from a few days to a few years), the people from all walks of life who attend our programs, and our Members who support us. Fiscal year 2010 has been significant in this regard.

As you will see from Executive Director Tanya Steinberg’s message, also in this Annual Report, fiscal year 2010 saw positive news on all fronts. Our occupancy withstood the recession (though not without challenges), our arts programs produced record results, and our financial condition continued to improve. These outcomes are directly attributable, of course, to the talents and dedication of our fine staff. Their efforts have produced the results you will read about in this Annual Report, and to them we extend our heartiest congratulations on a job very well done.

During fiscal year 2010, our Board began a process of self assessment in order to make certain that IHP is correctly positioned to effectively meet the challenges of the 21st century. Results of this project will be available soon.

IHP has become a vital component of Philadelphia’s economic, educational, and cultural landscape, and we will work to improve our position as we enter our second century of building bridges between cultures.

With warm regards,

James M. Papada, III Board�Chair

MESSAgE FROM THE Board Chair

1 2

Dear Friends of IHP,As we reflect on the past year, it is my privilege to share with you the accomplishments of International House Philadelphia as we continue to maximize value to our Residents, audiences and all stakeholders – leading up to the Celebration of the IHP Centennial.

Throughout its history, IHP has served as a cultural intersection where individuals and ideas connect in a vibrant setting. During the past fiscal year, 321 programs entertained more than 22,000 individuals, encouraging them to engage in creative, thought-provoking dialogue that criss-crossed cultural boundaries.

We selected the theme “Movement” for a series of Arts and Cultural programs designed and produced specifically for our Centennial Celebration – a major exhibition of film, video, music, and mixed media featuring works from today’s leading visual artists and musicians.

Approximately 800 Residents from 94 countries called IHP their home last year. Students from the US represented over 20% of IHP’s student population. Our Residents – students and scholars – attended 40 universities, colleges, internship, and research programs in the greater Philadelphia region. While living at IHP, Residents participated in leadership programs, an executive lecture series, conflict-resolution training, networking opportunities, and cultural and social programs, all developed to create a valuable exchange of ideas and a life-long learning process outside of the academic classroom.

IHP provided a safe, exciting, and inspiring introduction of international scholars to the American experience, which will remain with them as future global leaders and partners. American students at IHP gain a better understanding of the world while developing life-long friendships and networks.

For the second year, IHP Residents received the Davis Peace Project grant that enabled them to introduce West Philadelphia High School students to the world outside their neighborhood.

Through its diverse Arts, Cultural, Humanities, and Educational programs, IHP is bringing the world to the greater Philadelphia region and the greater Philadelphia region to the world.

IHP’s Spoken Language Program attracted 447 individuals and introduced them to the interactive practical way of learning a foreign language.

In June 2010, IHP hosted a Leadership Conference for International Houses Worldwide (IHWW). International Houses’ leaders from around the world gathered in Philadelphia to discuss issues related to the future of IHWW and to share best practices for international residential and program centers. Reunion events for alumni of all International Houses Worldwide followed the conference.

We’ve made significant upgrades to our award-winning building. The Ibrahim Theater balcony, four public restrooms, two music practice rooms, three residential suites, including one dedicated to the memory of the late brother of our alumnus Chuck gupta, were renovated and refurbished.

In addition, we repainted public spaces and the galleria, implemented major upgrades to our fire safety infrastructure, renovated the Satell Computer and Study Center, and installed an electronic key card system in all residential areas. Offices and work spaces have been also refurbished. After an audit of our energy consumption, more energy-efficient lighting has been installed, promising significant cost savings in the future.

Our incremental growth continued, and we’ve met all the goals we set out in our three year strategic plan. We move into 2011 prepared to examine strategic considerations affecting the future of IHP.

In alignment with the vision of the Board of Trustees, we remain accountable and committed to delivering the highest possible value to our Residents, audiences, and stakeholders.

After ten years, I continue to be inspired by the International House Philadelphia community.

It is with deep gratitude and appreciation that I thank the contributors, Board, volunteers, and staff. I thank them for sharing their resources, time, expertise, hard work, and dedication.

I am excited about the great year ahead!

Warmly yours,

Tanya Steinberg Executive�Director

Film @ International House The Ibrahim Theater continued our monthly program The Janus Collection, highlighting masterpieces in world cinema with brand new or restored 35mm prints. This repertory series is unique in the Philadelphia region. Classics include Akira Kurosawa’s The�Hidden�Fortress, the silent Swedish classic The�Phantom�Carriage, and Chantal Akerman’s sprawling feminist film Jeanne�Dielman,�23�Quai�du�Commerce,�1080�Bruxelles.

IHP teamed with the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania for Dance�with�Camera, a series that featured films, panels, and a lecture focused on the intersection of dance, visual art, and film.

Full Exposure was a selection of new documentaries that challenged audiences to peer into the lives of those on the fringes of history. In all, five documentaries were screened, three of which had the directors present for an illuminating Q and A session following the film.

The new film ODDSAC was premiered locally in The Ibrahim Theater in two sold-out screenings. An art film featuring music and acting by experimental music group Animal Collective, ODDSAC was directed by West Philadelphian Danny Perez. Both screenings had a Q & A with the director and a member of Animal Collective.

IHP screened House, a rare 1977 Japanese horror/fantasy film with a large cult following. House was shown in a new 35mm print from Janus Films in a sold-out screening.

The Directors in Focus series highlighted the films of Hollis Frampton, Harun Farocki, guy Maddin, Joyce Wieland and Kim Longinotto.

Live @ International House Anti-Jazz: The New Thing Revisited was a four concert series and our fifth collaboration with Ars Nova Workshop. Anti-Jazz featured notable performances from local legends the Sun Ra Arkestra, as well as Circulasione Totale Orchestra, Bill Dixon with Rob Mazurek’s Exploding Star Orchestra, and culminated in a sold-out show by Art Ensemble of Chicago. Anti-Jazz was funded by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Music Project.

R5 Productions and IHP hosted legendary german experimental group Faust for both a performance and a workshop. At the workshop, audience members and the musicians created a collaborative performance and shared some of their theories about music.

Art @ International House Art @ International House continued its mission of showcasing local artists and organizations. The West gallery continued to be a video gallery curated by Inliquid Art + Design, and the East gallery showcased painting, photography and other media by local artists.

OUR CENTENNIAL YEAR.

Our HistoryOur story began in 1908 when Waldo Stevenson, a missionary, and Edward Cope Wood, Director of the University of Pennsylvania Christian Association, chanced upon a group of Chinese students on campus. Touched by their evident loneliness and the prejudice and discrimination they and their friends experienced, Wood asked the Reverend and Mrs. Stevenson to open their Larchwood Avenue apartment to foreign students studying in the area.

Two years later in 1910, Wood persuaded the Christian Association to sponsor the Stevensons’ work. Thus began International House, a movement started in Philadelphia, now with 22 Houses around the globe. International Houses Worldwide is united by one mission: To provide students of different nationalities and diverse cultures with the opportunity to live and learn together in a community of mutual respect, understanding, and international friendship.

Our RoleInternational House Philadelphia is unique among all other Houses. We do not solely provide students the opportunity to live and learn together; for over 30 years, IHP has presented distinctive film and performance – from classic to cutting-edge – to the Philadelphia region.
