Artists U is a program founded and directed by Andrew Simonet in Philadelphia. Artists U is a grassroots, artist-run platform for changing the working conditions of artists. The program includes workshops and individualized planning sessions with artist facilitators.

The Urban Arts Leadership Program will provide similar professional development mentoring with a specific focus on supporting artists of color. The program is currently being developed by David D. Mitchell, who also serves as a facilitator for Artists U/Baltimore.

Location:  Arena Players, 801 McCulloh Street
