ASI Preschool Minnow ProjectDear ASI Enthusiasts, Supporters and Volunteers,
Greetings and Happy Fall!
ASI has been busy this summer by taking advantage of the wonderful resources our community has to offer, such as the John Heinz Wildlife Refuge. We have also been reaching out to new groups to work with us, such as the Veteran’s Multi-Service and Education Center and the Alexander Adaire School, as well as continuing our regular programs at the Fishtown and Northern Liberties Recreation Centers. Our youth explored constellations and frogs and everything in between! Check out our activities below and consider volunteering with us to join the fun.
Come visit our studio on Saturday or Sunday, October 25-26, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. for the Post Open Studio event. We’ll be doing art with the kids and their creations and those of practicing artists will be for sale at $2-25! All proceeds benefit ASI‘s youth programs. It will be a fun afternoon to re-connect with other volunteers and see art in action. We look forward to seeing you.
May you have many opportunities to use your imagination and express how much you treasure what you love!
Gratefully Yours,
Kristin

Take a walk with us!
In partnership with the Women’s Veteran Center, ASI is leading nature walk retreats at the John Heinz Wildlife Refuge for women veterans’ groups for relaxation and contemplation. We are also providing art classes, mural painting events and a children’s corner specially painted with chalk-friendly paint so that their kids can be creative alongside of their mothers. Workshops started in the summer and will continue through the fall. Spaces to join our group are still available and women veterans are invited to join us for the program. Email info@artsphere.org for more information.
