Ana Vizcarra Rankin's Starlights are night-lights featuring celestial maps. They incorporate works on paper, celestial cartography, sculptural and technological elements, with an emphasis on environmental sustainability. For Art in the Open, Ana will create a new generation of solar-powered indoor/outdoor starlights specific to the 2014 Philadelphia night sky.

Art in the Open (AiO) is a citywide event that celebrates artists, their inspirations for creating art, and their relationships with the urban environment. Art in the Open debuted in June 2010, bringing a jury-selected group of artists to the Schuylkill Banks - from the historic Fairmount Water Works to Bartram's Garden - to inspire new ways of seeing the river and the city it runs through. Each Spring, a new group of artists is chosen to for a three day event, creating new works of art outside, in a creative process open to everyone.
