 Sister Helen is currently the Art Director of the Southwest Community Enrichment Center in the Kingsessing section of Philadelphia, where she guides artists from 5 to 87 years of age in an open studio which has been a vital part of the center for 10 years. Opened in 1969, the Enrichment Center, non-denominational and supported partially by private and corporate funds, is governed entirely by the multi-cultural but largely African-American community it serves.
