This certificate is not open for enrollment for the 2024-2025 academic year.
Overview
The Certificate in Community Arts Practices is offered by the Department of Art Education and Community Arts Practices.
The Community Arts Practices Program is committed to the many and varied communities in Philadelphia and to Tyler students' education as artists to combine artistic disciplines with skills and knowledge in community organizing, positioning them for an expanded civic role in the 21st century. The Community Arts Practices Program develops and delivers university courses, after-school workshops, inter-generational forums, inter-disciplinary performances and site-specific installations.
At the heart of the program are community partnerships and internships that enable Tyler/Temple students to expand their art disciplines as community collaborators. During the last several years, the Community Arts Practices Program has created a body of community-based arts works, establishing a network of relationships and ongoing presence in neighborhoods that translates into continued projects. During this time, we have worked with youths and adults, organizations and families, in North Philadelphia neighborhoods and beyond, building a broad range of community arts partnerships that stimulate dialogue and share history to create exhibitions and interdisciplinary performances based on community lives and stories and shared student experiences.
