Art in the Open; Weekend Festival on the Schuylkill
Did you know that the along the banks of the Schuylkill River, from May 16-18, 2014 a jury-selected group of artists will create new works of art in a creative process open to everyone in a city wide event called Art in the Open?
My choice of materials for the event
My location on the river between JFK Blvd. and Race St.
Art in the Open celebrates artists, their inspirations for creating art, and their relationships with Philadelphia’s urban environment? Myself and 28 fellow artists will be choosing a location along the Schuylkill – where we will work and share our practice. So come on out, get some fresh air, see the sites along this most historic part of the river!
