Since 1998, the Upper Darby Arts & Education Foundation has been dedicated to enriching the lives of young people and residents through educational programming, arts opportunities, and community service.

Home to the award-winning Upper Darby Summer Stage and Schoener MusicMan Academy, the Foundation annually welcomes 800 young people and entertains more than 26,000 members of the community through dynamic performances and programming.

Most recently, the Foundation has begun offering pop-up classes in various locations throughout the community in anticipation of creating a Cultural Arts & Education Center in Barclay Square as a home for classes that provide opportunities all ages. 

The Foundation also sponsors the UDAE Service Club and Upper Darby Collaborative, encouraging community involvement and creating connections across our neighborhoods. 

Whether you show your support as a participant or an audience member, or have the capacity to give in greater ways, we appreciate everything you do to support us in our mission to transform lives through inclusive arts and education experiences that empower young people and unite our community.
