| 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 urban 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!" |

| UP NEXT: Art for Hope! Join COSACOSA artists, youth, and community residents for a day of public art-making! We'll be creating sections of a giant 50' x 20' mosaic butterfly for our new Hope Garden, one of our upcoming Site and Sound Gardens in North Philadelphia. Our next open studio is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, February 28 at our Main Street workshop. Hope to see you there! Thanks to generous funding from the Knight Arts Challenge, the Kresge Foundation, and the Union Benevolent Association, COSACOSA is creating three new community spaces filled with visual and audio art, flowers, and foods throughout the Nicetown-Tioga neighborhood this year! Designed by residents with COSACOSA artists, this is part of our long-term partnership with the Nicetown-Tioga Improvement Team, Tioga United, and other local organizations and schools to strategically plan for the neighborhood. |

We're creating a walking labyrinth of flowers in our next Site and Sound Gardens project: Hope Garden at 20th and Tioga Streets in North Philly. The space is substantial – 5 city lots – and also will include food and flower gardens and a performance space!
COSACOSA and Tioga United have established a garden corps of neighbors to design and create the project. Your donations of seeds, flowers, trees, and time are most appreciated. Call, text, or email us to get involved! |
