We'll be celebrating right here in our own Bella Vista neighborhood. Housed in a historic former church listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this venue showcases the pageantry of medieval Christianity through its unique architecture and interior frescoes. Their rotating gallery features artwork by Fleisher's own students, local Philadelphia artists, and visiting exhibitors.
As one of the oldest nonprofit community art schools in the country, Fleisher is committed to making art accessible to everyone through free and low-cost programs. Notably, 100% of the venue rental supports this mission. Its rich history and dedication to community engagement make it a meaningful place for us to begin this next chapter together.
Details for the day are currently TBD.
Please check back here later.
