Our Programs

Since 2000, ArtWell has worked with hundreds of amazing partners including schools, libraries, diverse faith-based organizations, health and social-service providers, and community organizations to serve nearly 1,000 students per year across the Greater Philadelphia region.

Through writing, music, poetry, visual arts, storytelling, performance, spoken-word, and other art forms, students discuss personal and social issues, explore their emotions and identities, cultivate their creativity, and develop deeper understandings of who they are in relation to the world around them.

Upcoming Events

Join us at the fourth annual ArtWell Poetry and Art Show at The Galleries at Moore College of Art and Design! The opening reception on Saturday, May 17th at 4-7PM is a celebratory and family-friendly evening honoring our youth artists and the stories they share through their work.

This free student art exhibition showcases creative works created by our K-12 students, including visual and literary art, and live performances.
