Fleisher Art Memorial community galleries and free classes

Fleisher Art Memorial traces its origins to the Graphic Sketch Club founded by Samuel S. Fleisher in 1898 and continues his mission by offering free and low-cost art instruction to the public. The organization operates studio spaces and exhibition galleries in South Philadelphia that regularly show work by students, community artists, and visiting practitioners. Fleisher is known locally for its community arts education programs, public exhibitions, and annual student shows.
