| COSACOSA art at large, Inc. is a non-profit organization creating new public art specific to the concerns of Philadelphia neighborhoods in direct, long-term collaboration with city residents. COSACOSA reasserts art's original role as a catalyst for community dialogue, creative cooperation, and positive change. Since 1990, COSACOSA projects have brought together thousands of citizens of diverse backgrounds and differing abilities to learn about art, about each other, and about how to work together. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Throughout 2014, we're creating new public spaces for community-building, art-making, and greening in some of Philadelphia's most challenged neighborhoods. Collaborating with diverse groups of city residents, our Growing United project is exploring the process of placemaking as a reflection of individual and community histories and aspirations. Please join us in our Manayunk studio and around the city as we showcase diverse public art and ideas about how to "make it better!" |

| Growing United at the McClure School Join COSACOSA artists, youth, and community members for public art-making! We're hosting family-friendly art workshops all summer long for our new Hope Garden, a children's reading green space – part of our Site and Sound Gardens project in the heart of North Philadelphia. Call, text, or email for more information. Thanks to generous funding from the Knight Arts Challenge, the Kresge Foundation, L.E.C.E.T., the National Endowment for the Arts, Public Citizens for Children and Youth, and the Union Benevolent Association, COSACOSA is creating three new community spaces filled with visual and audio art throughout North Philadelphia this year! Designed by residents with COSACOSA artists, this is part of our long-term partnership with the Nicetown-Tioga Improvement Team and other local organizations and schools to strategically plan for the neighborhood. |
