BuildaBridge thanks the
City of Philadelphia's Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy for the recognition of our Refugee Project. On Thursday, October 1st, BuildaBridge was honored in a ceremony for our work exhibited at City Hall with the Mayoral Certificate of Artistic Excellence. The works represented five years of our project with 500 refugees from 13 countries with the help of 33 BuildaBridge artists. BuildaBridge exhibited pieces from The Refugee Project, which is comprised of participation in three collaborations: the
Philadelphia Refugee Mental Health Collaborative, the
Philadelphia Partnership for Resilience and a partnership with Nationalities Service Center's
Refugee Employment and Advancement Program. The presentation also recognized programs by the School District of Philadelphia.
