You’re invited to discover Walking the Edge, the new community exhibit at The Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education that I was delighted to curate in conjunction with the upcoming 11th Walk Around Philadelphia.
For this show, we invited the public to submit artwork about walking perimeters, borders and boundaries along the city of Philadelphia and in other urban landscapes and natural spaces.
The exhibit is on view during the Center's regular hours
(9am – 5pm Monday through Saturday , plus some special evening events)

– Carla Robinson, Chestnut Hill Local - "Walking the Edge explores borders and boundaries through art"
