The Picasso Project was created by PCCY in 2002 to increase arts education opportunities for students in the School District of Philadelphia and improve the capacity of schools to provide arts education experiences. Grants of up to $5,000 are awarded yearly to Philadelphia Public Schools for projects that enhance and enrich the integration of the arts into the curriculum and classroom, often in partnership between school teachers, artists from the community and local arts organizations. At the same time, the Picasso Project engages in advocacy towards long-term changes in access to and funding for arts learning in Philadelphia schools. The Picasso Project is funded by individuals, foundations, corporations and events.
