I got lucky Friday and caught the two Taiwanese artists installing out at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education for the show Go Green: New Environmental Art from Taiwan.
In this extraordinary year of multiple art festivals in Philadelphia, Art in the Open Philadelphia, scheduled for June 9 to 12 along the Schuylkill River, is cut from a different cloth. This grand plan of four days of activities started out as a simple celebration of conventional plein air landscape painting, with artists painting in plain view of the public along the banks of the river.
