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.
