community involvement
Our neighbors are very important to us.
We believe in the power of art, and the ripple effect it has across the city of Philadelphia.

THANK YOU!
to our September 2025 show outreach partner...
We are excited to announce our September 2025 Show Outreach Partner is the Art Therapy Department of MossRehab Institute for Brain Health (MRIBH), part of Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation and the Avalon Action Alliance.
​Their exhibit will feature artwork created by patients at their Willow Grove location. You can also learn more about the wide array of services that MRIBH provides to veterans and first responders recovering from mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries and associated psychological disorders
Patients are offered opportunities to participate in individual and group art therapy sessions during their treatment at MRIBH as part of an interdisciplinary approach that also includes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech language pathology, behavioral health, physical medicine & rehabilitation, horticultural therapy, mindfulness/ yoga, animal assisted therapy, and neuropsychology.
Although creative arts therapy is not covered by health insurance, the entire MRIBH program- treatment, transportation, lodging, and meals- is provided to patients at no out-of-pocket cost thanks to generous support from the Avalon Action Alliance and donors.
Art Therapy uses the creative process to improve and enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals of all ages. This therapeutic model integrates the fields of human development, visual art and the creative process with counseling and psychotherapy.
Art Therapy is used to assess and treat anxiety; depression; social and emotional difficulties related to disability and illness; trauma and loss; physical, cognitive, and neurological problems, and more.
And while you're in the center of the park, take time to visit the
Student Artists, or join in our multi-generational Community Art Activity!
