To engage the community in hands-on art-making by expanding the reach of a mobile studio where participants create projects inspired by their neighborhoods

Summary: To engage the community in hands-on art making, this project will expand the reach of its mobile studio where participants create projects inspired by their neighborhoods. ColorWheels is equipped with the supplies needed for teaching artists to lead culturally relevant art projects influenced by neighborhood settings and informed by community members. While currently focused on the South Philadelphia neighborhoods surrounding Fleisher, this grant will bring ColorWheels to community sites, neighborhood festivals and public schools throughout Philadelphia.
