(snagged from a very informative Google review) Fleisher has a long prestigious history , and is the oldest community art school in America. It's in the Bella Vista neighborhood close to the Italian Market. It holds art and community events annually in the adjacent Cianfrani Park which has a Mural Arts fall mural. There are 4 buildings designed by famous Philly architect Frank Furness's firm. The interior of the church is lovely, and open for visitors at events like their fall pumpkin carving fundraiser.
