WHW 2024: Woodmere Art Exhibit - educational art program with Philadelphia school district schools
Through a partnership between Global Philadelphia Association and Woodmere Art Museum, the organizations are offering art education to Philadelphia district schools. Eight Philadelphia schools have participated in the program, including Esperanza Charter Academy, McClure, Solis Cohen, Kennedy Crossan, Spring Garden, Lingelbach, Shawmont, and Jenks Academy for Arts and Sciences Schools, culminating in an exhibition in Woodmere Art Museum’s Millard Children’s Gallery opening during World Heritage Week.
Throughout the opening reception on Sunday, May 19, attendees are invited to view students’ work, inspired by the artwork of Philadelphia-based, Venezuela-born artist, Henry Bermudez. The artist’s multi-media paintings are filled with vibrant colors, patterns, and dazzling textures that convey the richness of Latin America’s rainforests and his respect for its cultures and mythological deities.
