GREATER PHILADELPHIA HAS MORE THAN THE INTERNATIONAL
BEER FESTIVAL NOW MICHELE BRODY "Presenting" by Michele Brody. Art in the Open grew out of an organizer's visits to the Wayne Arts Center's open-air festival. 1 of 12 View images READER FEEDBACK Post a comment Posted on Sun, Jun. 6, 2010 Philadelphia festival takes art into the open By Sally Friedman For The Inquirer Ah, the Left Bank in spring . . . . A century or more ago, that would have meant Parisian strollers in their finery watching artists at their easels, painting en plein air - outdoors. This week, Philadelphia sets that scene on its urban ear, offering the same concept, 2010 style. The city's first Art in the Open festival, Wednesday through Saturday, will feature knitting-needle symphonies, tree-wrapping, floating sculptures, and bird-house neighborhoods, along with more traditional artistic expressions. In this incarnation, artists will be out on both the right and left banks (of the Schuylkill river), and strollers are earnestly invited to bear witness - no finery required. The plein air tradition may have morphed into something delightfully quirky, but its goals remain the same: creating joy and pleasure as artists and spectators come together under the sky.
