ExhibitionsExhibitionsNest and Branch: A juried Gallery exhibition on Birds and their Habitats. Nest and Branch features artwork that explores the realities and mysteries of birds. The nine artists represented in this exhibition have taken their inspiration from The Schuylkill Center’s 340 acres of woodlands, fields, streams and ponds, which serve as an oasis for birds in Philadelphia. The works in the exhibition use printmaking, drawing, painting, digital media, installation art, and book arts, to explore themes of migration, flocking, and nesting, as well as presenting imagery relating to endangered and extinct species. Exhibiting Artists: Nest and Branch is curated by Zoë Cohen, Art Program Manager, The Schuylkill Center  
  
 
 Gimme Shelter On View through Fall 2010
|
Gimme Shelter is a sustainable design/build competition on a small scale. This ambitious project will showcase six semi-permanent, functional woodland shelters to enhance the experience of visitors to the Schuylkill Center. The project is meant to build awareness of the applied possibilities and meaning of sustainability and its impact on our lives and our connection to the natural world. This is a competition that encourages collaboration between artists, designers and architects, in order to demonstrate and promote new, unique, and inspiring approaches to sustainable design and building techniques.
