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 1,500 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 cultural understandings.

Upcoming Events

On Saturday, April 6, ArtWell will host a free workshop with Poet, Performer and Educator, Gabriel Ramirez!

Join us at ArtWell’s office from 1-3PM for an interactive session focused on building curriculum.
