LandLab is an environmental art residency at the Schuylkill Center that interweaves art, ecological restoration, and public engagement. LandLab offers resources and space on the Center’s 340-acre wooded property for multidisciplinary artists to engage audiences in environmental advocacy, scientific investigation, and artistic creation. The LandLab Residency blends art and environmental science to engage diverse audiences in innovative investigations of environmental problems. Selected artists/teams receive professional development and mentorship by partnering with scientists and fellow arts professionals to create original, site-specific installations on our land and in our gallery. Our art programs and events engage residents throughout the region in discussions about current environmental issues, the artists' creative processes, and their experimental proposals.
