Dear ASI Enthusiasts, Supporters and Volunteers, 

Whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends or having some relaxing time for yourself, know that we appreciate your ongoing support. Because of your efforts, Art Sphere is able to share art with Philadelphia kids and their communities!

Art Sphere Inc. has been quietly helping to build the communities for the past fifteen years by using art as a central theme. With events such as the Park Cleanup Days, we bring our community together by using hundreds of volunteers to revitalize neighborhoods and help teach art programs.

Thank you for choosing to give back through Art Sphere, Inc.  You have helped make a significant difference by maintaining vital neighborhood resources for recreation centers and playgrounds serving Philadelphia youth. It’s not just beautifying public spaces, but transforming places and people through art.

Have a wonderful holiday season!

Gratefully Yours,
Kristin
