OPEN CHANNELS IS THE FIRST IN A SERIES OF THREE ART IN THE OPEN EXHIBITIONS TO BE HELD FROM SUMMER 2014 THROUGH SUMMER 2015 AT THE CENTER FOR EMERGING VISUAL ARTISTS, PENTIMENTI GALLERY, THE SCHUYLKILL CENTER FOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION  AND THE UNIVERSITY CITY ARTS LEAGUE.

Art in the Open (AiO) is a citywide event that celebrates artists, their inspirations for creating art and their relationships with the urban environment. This year, AiO has been re-framed as a  biennial  event, and selected a new group of 30 artists interested in using the  Schuylkill River  Banks as their studios– making their creative process open to everyone. Working over the course of three days (May 16-18, 2014), this jury-selected group created works of art along the Schuykill Banks – from the historic Fairmount Water Works to  Locust Street  – inspiring new ways of seeing the river and the city it runs through.
