Woodmere Art Museum’s annual exhibition, KIDS CARE, is a program in which children from schools across the Philadelphia region create art works as holiday gifts for people homebound with chronic illnesses. When the exhibition closes, artworks are wrapped and delivered by MANNA (the Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) along with a holiday meal to people battling life-threatening illnesses.
In celebration of the 31st anniversary of the KIDS CARE program, this year’s theme, "My Favorite Place," was vibrantly interpreted by young artists through a variety of mediums to evoke cherished locations and people, and the personal connections to the places we hold dear.
KIDS CARE has touched the hearts of thousands of people in the Philadelphia area, helping to make them feel part of a larger community and one that demonstrates how much “kids care.” Thank you to all the teachers and project leaders who have given their time, guidance, and encouragement to their students.
