Art in the Open
June 2010 kicks off Philadelphia’s newest arts festival
– Art in the Open – which staff at PAFA have collaborated
on for over a year. The festival celebrates artists, their
inspirations for creating art, and their relationships with
the urban environment – from volunteer artists practicing
plein-air painting along the banks of the Schuylkill River to
art exhibitions featuring artists concerned with the beauty,
science and politics that reverberate around contemporary
environmental issues. PAFA supporters who are interested
in learning more about the Art in the Open festival
and its partner activities should visit the website at www.
artintheopenphila.org. In particular, we will be in need of
volunteers to make art, hang art, transport art and most
importantly – convey their excitement about art!
In conjunction with the festival, we are also participating
in renowned artist Mel Chin’s Fundred Dollar Bill
Project. Interested groups can learn more at
www.fundred.org/about/.
