Our Connecting Through Collage project unites the diverse backgrounds and cultures of the Philadelphia population, showcasing their unique perspectives through the art of collage.

Free supplies were provided at each event. We requested that each participant make one or more 5” square collages and to contribute at least one square for exhibition.

Participants had the opportunity to express themselves creatively, and we offered prompts and helping hands if needed.

The project yielded 440 5” squares. Our thanks to all who participated.

We collaborated with many local organizations and venues.

Host organizations: ArtWell Philadelphia, KleinLife, Taller Puertorriqueno, Philly Asian & Queer, HIAS Pennsylvania, Bok Bar, InLiquid, Park Towne Place, Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, Naval Square, Victoria Freehouse, TECH Freire Charter School
