Souls Shot Portrait Project - Portraits of Victims of Gun Violence

This traveling exhibit links fine artists with families or friends of victims of gun violence. The artists meet with the victims' loved ones to learn about the lives they lived. Our goal is to present diverse works that in some way relay graphically, or through narrative, the essence of the person being portrayed.
Their mission is to bring attention to and memorialize the lives lost and tragically altered due to gun violence. Portraits have the unique ability to call out the souls and profoundly affect those who see them.

Exhibit runs May 14th - June 9th.
Gallery hours:
M-F, 10am-5pm.

We wish you a safe and fun-filled Memorial Day celebration! The Center will reopen on Tuesday, May 26th with normal business hours from 10am - 5pm.

The Artists in Residence Exhibition is now on view through Tuesday, June 9th!
Stop by the Center to experience the work of resident artists Jess Barnett and Alessandra Mitchell as they celebrate the completion of their residencies.
Gallery Hours:

In 1980, Dave, his brother Rich, and drummer, Tom Cohen, formed the Posmontier Brothers Quintet and performed extensively at concerts and clubs and made radio and television appearances in the Philadelphia area. The group produced an album, "PBQ'" of Dave's original music in 1985. It was very well received by the jazz community and received airtime on local jazz radio stations.

Now in its 13th year at the Cheltenham Center for the arts, Jazz Bridge is a non-profit arts organization serving a need no one else is addressing in the Philadelphia area: responding to local jazz and blues artists in times of need. Proceeds from the neighborhood concert series go to help local jazz musicians in personal or professional crisis. Concerts feature prominent jazz and blues musicians during an hour and a half long program which includes a Q&A with the artists.

There’s still time to experience the 83rd Annual Juried Painting Show—on view through May 2!
Featuring 56 selected artists, this year’s exhibition showcases a wide-ranging and vibrant collection of contemporary painting. Don’t miss the chance to see the diversity of styles and perspectives on display.
