ART in the OPEN on Philadelphia's Schuylkill Riverbanks

WRTI Your Classical and Jazz Source | By Susan Lewis
Published May 19, 2012 at 11:30 AM EDT

ART in the OPEN celebrates the Philadelphia landscape as both inspiration and as an open-air studio for artists from May 18th to 20th. The natural beauty and urban character of the Schuylkill River - from Fairmount Water Works to Bartram's Garden -  are explored.

WRTI's Susan Lewis considers how public art-making events, such as this weekend’s ART in the OPEN, can change our sense of place.
