Arthur Hall established Ile Ife Films and the Arthur Hall Collection in 1994
to tell the thirty year history of the Afro American Dance Ensemble of Philadelphia, 1958 - 1988.
Over the years, the Arthur Hall Collection has grown to include a wealth of historically significant
materials in several media - paper, photographs, audio recordings, video recordings, and motion picture films.
Our mission includes the preservation, dissemination, and recreation of the many works of Arthur Hall.

Renaissance on Sacred Ground - 2008 Mission Statement
The Arts belong to all people,
and all people surrender to the Arts at some point.
I am happy now after forty years of being a Symbol
of Black Culture to expand my Vision to encompass
all the World's Cultures by founding
the International Dance Center ...
The Support of the Community Uplifts my Spirit.
The Center will be a place for the Creative Process,
a place for International Music & Dance to Come Together,
perhaps to Create what does not yet exist.
- Yours in the Cause of Humanity,
Arthur Hall
To the family, friends and fans of Arthur Hall
