Global Philadelphia Association (GPA) and the Woodmere Art Museum in Chestnut Hill will host a children’s gallery opening during World Heritage Month in May. World Heritage Month is a celebration of Philadelphia’s World Heritage City designation. It spotlights Philly’s global profile and multicultural communities.
The Woodmere Children’s Art Exhibit will feature artwork from six Philadelphia schools, including an art project of students in grades 3 to 8. With the theme “I Dream a World” by poet Langston Hughes, the project aligns with the city’s 250th anniversary and is designed to inspire students to explore creativity, identity, and community. The exhibit will open with a reception and program introducing the students’ artwork, which will be on public view through the summer.
The program will include City Councilmember Cindy Bass; State Rep. Jared Solomo; Philadelphia’s 2026–2028 Poet Laureate Dr. Raina Leon; Jabari Jones, President, West Philadelphia Corridor Collaborative, and Gary Wooten, GPA’s Events and Community Manager. The schools participating will be Esperanza Academy Charter High School, J.S. Jenks School, Alexander K. McClure School, Shawmont School, Solomon Solis-Cohen School, and Saint Genevieve School.
