Portside Arts Center

Description

• The Portside Arts Center is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) community-based, educational arts center located at 2531 E. Lehigh Avenue, serving the greater Philadelphia area. In 2007, Director, Kim Creighton, a 27 year resident and skilled mosaic and metal artist aimed to revitalize her community through the arts by opening the Portside Arts Center. Before purchasing the two story 6,000 square foot building known today as the Portside, Kim surveyed the surrounding neighborhoods and found that there was a definite need for arts and music education. Alongside dedicated friends and volunteers, Kim worked very hard to renovate the space in preparation to house the arts center. They turned a warehouse filled from floor to ceiling with old furniture, old machinery, clothes, and collectibles into two visual art classrooms, a performing arts room and a music studio. Since its opening in 2008, the Portside has received nothing but great reviews and feedback from members of the community, media, local businesses and schools. The Portside offers more than 60 different music, visual and performing arts classes impacting over 1,200 children teens and adults every year. In 2011 the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program completed our full building educational fish mural that we are so proud to have on our walls.
