The Portside Arts Center is seeking Individual Donations & Event Sponsorship for our 7th Annual Lehigh Avenue Arts Festival & the Philly Puff on April 26th, 2014. The LAAF is Portside’s biggest scholarship fundraiser for children, teens and adults. Your generosity will allow us to carry out our goals of providing high-quality, low-cost arts and music instruction to residents with limited access to arts and music programming.
Portside has a waiting list of families who would like to attend our programs but cannot afford the costs until we receive or raise more funds for scholarships. Like many communities in middle to lower socio-economic areas, arts and music programs at our local schools continue to be cut or eliminated completely. Presently, there has been a significant budget cut to the Philadelphia’s public schools, which has terminated more then 70% of all arts, music and after school programs. We currently offer more than 20 different performing arts, visual arts and music classes and 15% of our students receive scholarship. Our goal for 2014 is to raise $10,000 for our scholarship fund! Every donation counts so please help us make a difference and donate now.

Our mission is to empower the children and adults of our community with opportunities to develop their artistic abilities, awaken the imagination, and build self-esteem and confidence. Through the Arts we provide a safe haven for our community to nurture creativity, diversity, literacy and health for the betterment of all.
By building self-awareness, and appreciation of one's own inner creativity and artistic skills, we aim to transform the lives of individuals, improve their academic and economic success and awaken a person's social and civic sense in order to raise the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
