Cool Jobs is a ground-breaking program introducing almost 600 public school 6th and 7th graders to jobs in art and design by meeting successful working professionals. The Preview Party is a grown-up sneak peek at who the kids will meet the next three days – Hang out with acclaimed graffiti painter and brilliant typographer, GlossBlack, lick icing with Cake Life - pastry chefs from Fishtown who crafted Beyonce’s birthday cake, play puppeteer with Saturday Night Live’s prop designers, Monkey Boys Productions, and so much more! A fun fundraiser!

Fresh Artists has joined forces for the second year with the Southwest Leadership Academy Charter School (SLA) and top local restaurants to introduce kids to the art of culinary masterpieces – both on canvas and on the plate. In 2012, Art teacher Deva Watson partnered with Fresh Artists to collaborate on the development of a highly innovative four-month pilot program - Fresh Artists Palates-to-Palettes.

We've been cooking up the concept of broadening the reach of children's philanthropy by starting a movement of Clothesline Art Shows around our region and ...hold onto your hats – throughout the nation! Recently we brought "Clothesline" to the famous Manyunk Arts Festival –a two-day affair that draws 200,000 people.

As part of this year’s Philadelphia Flower Show, Fresh Artists partnered with SEPTA and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society to create “Fresh Flowers” – A Mobile Museum of Mini-Masterpieces,” an unprecedented initiative to turn a SEPTA bus into a rolling art museum of floral-themed children’s art!

Award-winning veteran Flower Show exhibitors, Flowers by David, invited Fresh Artists to bring children’s artwork into their design for the Major Exhibits section of the 2014 Philadelphia Flower Show, “Articulture.” How’s that for starters?!! To make it all happen, we partnered with the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s (PMA) Delphi After School Club to work with 4th-8th grade students from six Philadelphia middle schools to create enormous flower-filled graphics.
