I don’t think that art comes from art. A lot of artists apparently think so. I think it comes from the awakening person…Everything tends toward awakening, and I would rather use the word awakening than a word derived from some system – because there are many systems.

Art in the Open (AiO) is a citywide event that celebrates artists, their inspirations for creating art, and their relationships with the urban environment. Inspired by, but re-framing, the tradition of painting en plein air, a juried selection of artists working in a variety of media will create art outside, on-site over the four-day period of June 9-12, 2011 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.

Lesley Mitchell’s At the Milonga unfolds in myriad ways to reveal a Buenos Aires dance hall with musicians and dancers, and as the wings of the book open and the folds simultaneously tumble towards the viewer, the perspective brings the heads of joyful or serious participants right up to my face.

The intersection of art and music has been a long standing tradition at Sande Webster Gallery. For more than 30 years we have been exhibiting painting, photography and sculpture that is directly influenced by or related to music, specifically Jazz. Whether it’s the gestural marks of abstraction dashed across canvas or light captured by the camera’s eye in the fleeting moments of arpeggio and applause. One motivation remains constant, the actualization of passion.
