Cheltenham Represented at Annual Woodmere Exhibition “KIDS CARE”

Woodmere’s annual exhibition “KIDS CARE” invites children from schools across the Philadelphia region to create art works as holiday gifts for people battling serious illnesses. Cheltenham is well represented at the exhibition, with 22 AP Photography students having their artwork included in the special program. Visit the Woodmere Art Museum (9201 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19118) through December 21 during normal business hours to view the art displays. 

Participating Cheltenham students include Shakur Reid, MaKenzie Stevenson, Madelaine Leighton, John Raisch, Alex Brison, Joelynn Eldridge, Wolf Brown, Willa Chaney, Laylah Smith, Aniyah Wallace-Solomon, Alegria Carrera, Savvy Darr, Sy’Anna Laws, Ardyn Endy, Lawrence Russell, Stephanie Cleghorn, Calen Simmons, Maya Simmons, Brooke-Lynn Smith, Bryce Gaither, Kennedy Tolbert and Ugonna Enyia.

Once the exhibition closes, art is wrapped and delivered by MANNA (the Metropolitan Area Neighborhood Nutrition Alliance), along with a holiday meal bringing encouragement and a sense of community to each recipient.

This year’s theme, "Musical Storytelling in Art," draws inspiration from the beautiful watercolors of award-winning illustrator Jerry Pinkney and his musical storytelling artworks featured in the Woodmere exhibition “Soul, Sound and Voice.”
