ArtWell Poetry and Art Show
The annual ArtWell Poetry and Art Show will kick off with an opening reception on Sunday, May 31st at 1-4 PM! Held at The Galleries at Moore College of Art and Design this celebratory and family-friendly evening honors our youth artists and the stories they share through their work.
The fun continues throughout the week-long exhibit with open gallery hours and free, artistic workshops!
This year’s theme: Community
As we celebrate 25 years of ArtWell, we are highlighting our core value of community.
This year’s exhibit celebrates the power of artmaking as a vehicle for community building within classrooms and throughout the city of Philadelphia. We will also celebrate the beautiful community (past, present, and future) that has made ArtWell what it is today.

Art, Poetry, and Live Performances
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.
Not only will attendees be able to eat, mingle, and connect with each other, but they will also enjoy community-centered visual and literary art and live performances.
