How Can Your School Become An ArtsZone Hub School?

The 5 ArtsZones are at the core of ArtsRising's work in Philadelphia's communities. Our plans envision adding another 3 ArtsZones within the next year, followed by a broader expansion over time.

All schools are invited to apply to become ArtsZone hub schools. After a round of site visits, surveys, and other analyses, schools are evaluated on a preset list of criteria, including:

  • The type of school
  • The school's location
  • The school and neighborhood's diversity
  • The school's resources and history of supporting the arts
  • The vision of the school's leadership
  • Opportunities for collaboration, both within the school and in the community
  • The school's culture.
