Kids Care 26: Faces and Places in Our Town

For twenty-six years Woodmere’s annual exhibition, KIDS CARE, has touched the hearts of thousands of people in the Philadelphia area. Hundreds of children from schools across the Philadelphia region create art works as holiday gifts for people homebound with chronic illnesses. The artworks are designed to help people feel part of a larger community, one that demonstrates how much “kids care.”

 

This year’s theme “Faces and Places in Our Town” is inspired by Woodmere’s exhibition Our Town: A Retrospective of Edith Neff, currently on view in Woodmere’s galleries. Hundreds of children participated, creating beautiful and uplifting artworks. Their artworks will be on display through December 15^th. Following the exhibition, each artwork will be wrapped by volunteers and delivered by MANNA (Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance) along with a holiday meal to people battling life-threatening illnesses.

 

Thank you to all the project leaders, teachers, and schools who have given their time and provided inspiration for the spectacular artwork on display. KIDS CARE is a partnership between Woodmere Art Museum, Philadelphia area schools, and MANNA.
