ArtWell Poetry and Art Show

Through an engaging exhibition of visual art, spoken word performances, and interactive experiences, attendees witness firsthand the impact of ArtWell’s programs on students' lives. The show is a dynamic blend of poetry, painting, music, and mixed media, all created by K-12 students across Philadelphia--it is an invitation to uplift youth voices and support their creative journeys.

More than just a free student art exhibition, the ArtWell Poetry & Art Show is a celebration of the power of art to heal, unite, and inspire. The opening reception will be a celebratory and family-friendly evening that honors our youth community, Teaching Artists, program partners, and supporters across the City of Philadelphia. Not only will attendees be able to eat, mingle, and connect with each other, but they will also enjoy imaginative visual and literary art and live performances.

As we celebrate 25 years of ArtWell, we are celebrating our past achievements, looking to the future, and using our core value of imagination to reenvision Philadelphia. This exhibit honors imagination as an important vehicle for emotional growth and crafting new futures, while showcasign who we, as a city, can be.
