AiO celebrates the Philadelphia landscape as both inspiration and as an open-air studio for artists. Over the days of June 9 to 12, 2011, from Fairmount Water Works to Bartram's Garden, AiO will explore the natural beauty and urban character of the Schuylkill River: where West Philadelphia separates from Center City and thousands of people enjoy a beloved recreational park of paths and views.
Snowed in? What a perfect time to TRY a bubble. Get those digital images of your artwork together and see how easy it is to get your work up on line and looking good. A perfect project to do while you listen to the shovels on sidewalks. Grab a cup of tea, coffee, or cocoa and get started.
Heavybubble is smart, easy, do-it-yourself, and goodlooking. [tm]

Opening Reception on Friday, March 11, 2011
A pendulum is more than a physical object in continual motion propelled by equal force to swing back and forth from a fixed point. It's a consciousness, a state of mind that now more than ever describes the atmosphere of the United States. We as Americans are continually oscillating between fear and bravery, candor and deception, discrimination and embrace. We're fluctuating outside of our comfort zone.
Deadline for proposals February 14
This project will consider how cities can use mobile and locative art to regenerate areas that have been bypassed by new economies and flows of commerce and transit. It will also address issues of disconnection, asking who is able to connect and who is dislocated from public space.
