Ro Adler is a Philly-rooted community artist, educator, and facilitator. Their art pairs people-centered processes with thorough inquiry into physical material, calling on painting, sculpture, printmaking, large-scale puppetry, fibers, ritual, and performance to bring collective vision to life. 

Ro’s approach as a facilitator mirrors their artistic inquiry: it asks, what do we need to say, and how are we going to say it? How can we work together beautifully? What is the world we want to see, and how can we make it happen?

Ro’s art/work has been seen nationally at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Kennedy Center; locally at Union Transfer, Icebox Project Space, Space 1026, and Fleisher Art Memorial. Most of all, it lives in the gardens, classrooms, telephone poles, and streets of Philadelphia.
