Artsy Phartsy Philly

Excitement is building as we near the tremendous conference date, so it seemed like a good idea to compile suggestions for those interested in Philadelphia art offerings on either end of the conference. There are so many wonderful places from which to choose, you just might have to move here.

The most obvious is the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Check their website for special exhibits and events. While you’re in the area, the Rodin Museum features the largest collection of Auguste Rodin’s work outside of Paris. Or tour Philly’s mural art. The program was developed to provide an outlet for young artists who were drawing graffiti everywhere.

For something a bit different, Studio Incamminati is a fine art school founded by Nelson and Leona Shanks. Galleries offer works by faculty and students. For more contemporary art work, check out Crane Arts, Philadelphia Art Alliance and The Center for Emerging Visual Artists.

My absolute favorite place is The Brandywine River Museum, an hour from Philly. It houses magnificent works from N. C. Wyeth, Andrew Wyeth and Jamie Wyeth, as well Howard Pyle and others. The divine cafeteria offers meandering views. But wait, there’s more. They also offer tours of Wyeth’s home and studio. An afternoon here renews my soul. Right up the street are the amazing Longwood Gardens. For more information see .
