    North Philadelphia has been stigmatized for years as the “Badlands”—a region ridden by drugs, crime, and poverty. The Goodlands, a community-based after school and summer arts program run by Centro Nueva Creacion, was created in 2000 to counter negative perceptions, inspire hope, and build artistic talent in young people. Since 2000, more than 800 children from the Fairhill and West Kensington neighborhoods of North Philadelphia have participated in The Goodlands program. The exhibition features a selection of more than 40 color photographs of people and places in the community, taken between 2000 and 2009 by neighborhood children aged 5 to 13. The exhibit is located in the Kress Gallery on the Museum's first floor.
