$5,751.22 of $10,000

Help us reach our $10,000 goal for our End of Year Campaign with a tax deductible donation! We have big plans for 2022, including a month-long festival, launching our new residency program, and the beginning of our accessible building renovation!

Da Vinci Art Alliance’s core mission is building community through art. Located in South Philadelphia, DVAA is a non-profit art-centered community space committed to fostering new ideas, facilitating open dialogue, and exchanging skills and resources. Through free public programming, funded fellowships and residencies, exhibitions and an annual community centered arts and science festival, DVAA supports people within all stages of their artistic journey.

Our organization was founded in 1931 by sixteen Italian immigrant artists and collectors, at a time when immigrants were barred from major artistic, academic and scientific institutions. DVAA is still influenced by our founders – utilizing the power of art to break down barriers and foster a space that encourages diverse and inclusive curation and programming. DVAA owns and operates a rowhome in Queen Village, a historically immigrant-centric pocket of South Philadelphia. Our programs cultivate a visual meeting ground for the many cultures and identities that call our neighborhood home and help to bridge the gap between diverging neighbors, providing them with agency to create, collaborate, and celebrate the universal creative spirit that unites us all. In 2021 we hired two full-time Co-Directors, committed to building relationships between our artist members, our neighbors, and the greater Philadelphia community through resource sharing and intentional programming.

We have a lot of new exciting things in the works, and will be using this space to announce a lot of it!! As Covid restrictions are changing, we're looking forward to welcoming you all back in larger groups at the gallery and outdoor at our new monthly social at Palumbo Park.
