ART in the AIR

view of PECO Crown Lights display

Art in the Air is a digital art initiative developed through a Breadboard and PECO partnership. The goal is to utilize the PECO Crown Lights system in a new and different way, and provide recognition to local artists working in a digital format. The PECO Crown Lights (atop the PECO building located at 23rd and Market streets) will serve as an Art in the Air exhibition venue.  In 2011 three to five artists will be selected each month (September-December) for Art in the Air exhibits on the Crown Lights display.  Select artists works will be on view every Friday evening for one month from 7pm to midnight.

$1000 BEST OF SHOW
Art in the Air artists will be considered for a “Best of Show” exhibit at the end of each season. Up to three artists will be selected and each artist will receive a $1,000 award.
