Please join the Community Arts Partnership (CAP) and the Esther M. Klein Art Gallery at the Science Center on May 13, 2023 for the opening reception of Art & Community VIII: Community Arts Partnership. The exhibit celebrates a dynamic program developed by CAP which placed 17 Philadelphia artists-in-residence at nine local West Philadelphia schools facilitating dynamic creative art projects with the students. The work on display represents the culmination of a year long collaboration between CAP artists and school students. In addition to the May 13th Art & Community VIII: Community Arts Partnership reception, a performing arts recital and awards ceremony will be held on June 19, 2023 at World Caf� Live.
A number of local Philadelphia arts organizations including the Philadelphia Independent Film and Video Association and Asian Arts Initiative are also participating as sponsors of the programs. As well, a handful of University of Pennsylvania students are serving the greater arts community as interns in these organizations.
There are approximately 300 grade-school students and 20 University of Pennsylvania undergraduate students participating in the program. Art & Community VIII: Community Arts Partnership will exhibit student work from the visual arts residencies, which include puppet-making, mask-making, textiles arts, quilt-making, graphic novels, a website project, recorded music, and video. The performing arts residencies will be incorporated into the exhibit through photographs. Wall text and photos documenting the entire program will also be part of the Art & Community VIII: Community Arts Partnership exhibit.
