Moonstone Arts Center

About As:

The Moonstone Arts Center promotes creative exchange through diverse cultural programs. Each year Moonstone produces over 200 public events including poetry, author appearances, music, theater and film at our location in Center City, Philadelphia. We also organize collaborative programs such as Thomas Paine: The Forgotten Founding Father and John Brown: 150 Years Later.

One of our most successful annual programs is Poetry Ink: 100 Poets Read, seven hours of poetry, food, and conversation with poetry lovers from around the area during Poetry Month in April. In addition to the reading, we produce a chapbook each year with one page for each reader who chooses to be included.

We believe that the arts, creativity, and imagination are essential aspects of life, learning and community. The Moonstone Arts Center is a division of Moonstone Inc., which also operates the Moonstone Preschool in South Philadelphia.
