Arts and Artists Outdoors (A2O), is a ten-week-long artist residency program which uses free arts programming and community engagement to cultivate an appreciation of the natural and environmental assets of Philadelphia.

Philly Photo Day is coming up on Friday, October 28th! Everyone in Philadelphia is invited to take a picture of anything you like as long as it’s taken on the 28th within the city limits. You’ll have until October 31st to select your favorite picture and upload it onto our website (uploading details to come).

Then on November 10th, from 6–9 pm, join PPAC at the Philly Photo Day Opening Reception. Every single picture we receive will be printed and hung for exhibition in our space at 1400 N American St. Reprints of all the images will be available for $25.

SUBMIT YOUR WORK.

GET JURIED IN NOVEMBER 2011. VOTE.

GET A SOLO SHOW IN 2012.

For the November 2011 exhibition ‘Other Possible Titles,’ Grizzly is looking for inventive work for inclusion in a juried, group show. Work in any medium – sculpture, wall work, video art, installation, etc- is encouraged.

There is a catch. Throughout the duration of the exhibition, Grizzly Grizzly will allow visitors to vote on their favorite work. The artist receiving the most votes will receive a solo exhibition in the 2012 gallery season.
