Our Story

We are a group of Philadelphia-based community leaders and professional musicians who formed Artcinia to offer performing arts experiences to people in their own neighborhoods. We build relationships between professional artists, venues, and audiences and focus on reaching all areas of our city.

 

Artcinia launched its foundational program, Music in Your Neighborhood, in June 2021 in collaboration with Partners for Sacred Places. Through engaging, community-informed concerts in local venues, Artcinia provides performing arts experiences throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding region that are accessible to everyone.

 

During our first 2 years of operation, we have performed on grassy knolls, slanting sidewalks, and in parking lots, garden spaces, community centers, and beautiful houses of worship. With content as varied as classical string quartets, swing bands, Brazilian jazz, and spiritual song recitals, we have touched 16 neighborhoods, compensated over 120 professional musicians, and have welcomed more than 4,500 audience members throughout the Philadelphia region to our concerts.

 

We hope to see you at a Music in Your Neighborhood concert in your neighborhood soon!
