Mission
Moore is dedicated to excellence in art and design. Founded in 1848, Moore is the first and only visual arts college for women in the US. With its undergraduate BFA degree for women and coeducational graduate programs, Moore cultivates creativity, promotes scholarship and prepares students for careers in the arts by emphasizing critical thinking, problem solving, risk-taking, and strong communication skills. Moore is dedicated to producing graduates who distinguish themselves as leaders. As a cultural leader, Moore promotes the arts in the broader community. The Galleries at Moore present work of significant regional, national and international artists to the community through distinctive exhibitions and educational programs. The Continuing Education programs provide opportunities for men and women to learn new skills for personal and professional growth. Moore's acclaimed Young Artists Workshop, founded in 1922, enriches the lives of children and youth through creative arts education.
Program accomplishments
- Higher Education: Moore enrolls approximately 400 students in the Bachelor of Fine Arts program with an 8:1 student student/faculty ratio. Moore cultivates each student's creative talents and provides the technical and professional skills essential to building a successful career in the visual arts. Students learn from award-winning, professionally active faculty who bring real-world knowledge and expertise into the classroom and encourage excellence, creative exploration and self-expression to prepare students for leadership in their chosen field.

- Higher Education: Graduate Programs: MA in Art Education with an Emphasis in Inclusive Practices, MA in Art Education with an Emphasis in Inclusive Practices + Pre-K-12 Art Teacher Certification, and PB Pre-K-12 Art Teacher Certification. After months of planning, Moore announced in summer 2008 the creation of three unique new graduate programs designed to prepare motivated men and women with the skills, knowledge and resources to become professional artists, designers and teachers. The program is low-residency, recognizes the critical value of professional exposure and requires a field practicum, internship or international studio residency. Programs emphasize critical thinking, innovation and synthesis of theory and practice. Self-directed research and rigorous inquiry are key components. Candidates work closely with professionally active faculty artists, educators and designers, as well as work independently with professionals in the field. The program hosts an annual symposium featuring guest speakers of national and international significance, focusing on contemporary issues. The program features summer intensive, evening and weekend year-round scheduling that are well suited for working adults seeking to acquire new skills and perspectives in their current studio, design or teaching practices. Programs began in May 2009.Expenses $479,203 · grants $199,150 · revenue $705,103

Courses combine a flexible and dynamic approach to learning while remaining grounded in the time-honored strengths of Moore's BFA programs and award-winning faculty, who are committed to sharing their expertise and bringing real world experience into the classroom. Approximately 100 adults enroll in Moore's continuing education courses each year. Moore's Teachers Summer Institute is designed to enhance the culture of teaching and to empower learning in and through visual art. A professionally directed program of studio-based workshops offers educators the opportunity to expand studio skills, deepen personal direction, and discover new applications in educational practice. Moore offers a full range of educational programs for boys and girls grades 1-12, from its historic Young Artists Workshop to its innovative Summer Art & Design Institute for High School Women. Established in 1922, the Young Artists Workshop (YAW) enables young people to have direct involvement with art making, encourages self-directed learning, and enables authentic learning experiences. The YAW program serves approximately 400 boys and girls each year. YAW classes are ongoing and are scheduled for ten Saturdays in the fall and ten Saturdays in the spring. In summer, Moore offers single day and one-week programs for students in grades 8 -12, Monday through Friday and on Saturdays. A variety of classes are offered, introducing students to the joy of creative exploration and developing their artistic skills through a range of media and techniques. The Summer Art & Design Institute for High School Women (SADI) is a four-week pre-college residential program open to young women who have just completed their sophomore, junior, or senior year of high school. The Institute allows dedicated students who are passionate about their artwork to spend four weeks developing their skills as artists and designers. Upon successful completion of the program, students will earn 3.0 college credits. Students choose a studio concentration emphasizing Fine Arts, Fashion Design, or Digital Animation. Each week of the program includes three days immersed in the studio concentration, as well as two days in the intensive portfolio development program: basic drawing, life drawing and two-dimensional design. All of these subjects are designed to prepare students for the college admissions process. Students are taught and guided by exceptional faculty who are professionals in their fields and committed to sharing their knowledge of art and design. Additionally, students benefit from required activities such as artists' studio tours, museum and gallery visits and other exciting cultural events that expose them to the larger arts community in Philadelphia.Expenses $749,875 · grants $190,805 · revenue $839,557
