Our Mission
The mission of ArtsRising is to improve and expand equitable access to arts education for all children in the Greater Philadelphia Region so that youth are better engaged in school and in their community, persistent through high school graduation, and prepared for post secondary opportunities and for the 21st Century Workforce.
Our Vision
Parents, students, teachers, administrators and the general public embrace the intrinsic value of the creative process as a means to enrich the populace–individually and collectively–and embrace children’s cultural curiosity and cultural competency as key to developing 21st Century Skills.
