Art In The Open, Philadelphia (AIO) -- a citywide festival that celebrates artists, their inspirations for creating art, and the process of art making in the urban environment -- invites applications from interested artists working in any medium for work that can be constructed (and sustained) on-site for this June festival.
A jury (see below) will select 30 artists to create new work outside, on-site, over the four-day period of June 9-12, 2010 along the banks of the tidal Schuylkill River - from the historic Fairmont Park Water Works and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, south to landmark Bartram’s Garden.
AIO is open to all professional artists working in any medium that can be made ‘outside, on site’. Students
and artists under the age of 21 are not eligible. The jurors will be selecting artists based on the quality of
previous work, not on their proposal of intent. However, artists may include a descriptive statement that will
help the jurors better understand their process. A non-refundable entry fee of $30 is due, payable by check to: AIO: City Parks Association. For a full prospectus, click here.
In addition to the 4 day festival, a welcoming reception and curated exhibit of participating artists’ works will be held at Philadelphia’s City Hall to launch AIO. And at the end of the four days, a closing exhibition and sale will be held at the Rosenwald/Wolf Gallery at the University of the Arts (June 12, 2010).
