In operation since 1998, ASI is the only non-profit of its kind to deliver a wide variety of artistic and human services to underserved communities throughout the Delaware Valley. At ASI, art is used as a strategic tool to help kids and adults build wider skills, promote civic vitality, and encourage flourishing communities that in the end enable greater opportunity for individuals and establish viable neighborhoods. ASI partners with key leaders across a number of private and civic organizations to create uniquely structured programs that are implemented by a dedicated volunteer base. ASI has been recognized by local and national organizations such as the Fishtown Neighbors Association and Philadelphia’s MLK Day of Service.
