JUST DO IT: See Art in the Open, today through Sunday

Filed Under: Just Do It

This weekend (May 18-20), the Schuylkill River Trail, from Fairmount Water Works to Bartram's Garden, will transform into Art in the Open, a mile-long art space where 21 jury-selected artists will work in a variety of mediums outside and on site. Drawing inspiration from the city and the waterways that help define it, many artists will employ an art-making process that is environmentally based and interactive, from leaf chalk drawings and natural material sculptures to lawn chair webbing. In addition to seeing and helping juried artists, there are also informal programs set up for impromptu art making: Printing in the Open is a station where artists create designs inspired by the plant life found at Bartram's Garden and print them on T-shirts, tote bags or bandanas, and Drawing Together, in the Sculpture Garden at Philadelphia Museum of Art, will provide classes on-hand art teacher. After it’s all said and done, an exhibit of selected works created during Art in the Open will be hosted by the Independence Seaport Museum and be open to the public, starting June 14.
