Art in the air no pie in the sky

In case you’re wondering how the new tech-art consortium Breadboard (out of the University City Science Center and affiliated with Esther Klein Gallery) is doing, we have to say…well!  Breadboard just partnered with PECO to get art up on the PECO signboard atop their building at 23rd and Market.  No kidding, art in the sky.  LED art.  Could be cool.  And it’s ongoing–as in each month you have a new shot at getting your art up there.

The press release explains that each month PECO and Breadboard will choose three designs to feature up there on the light board at 23rd and Market. The art will be featured (drumroll) on First Fridays each month. We at Artblog want to see some great word art up there!

From the press release:
