Schuylkill Center’s 2017-18 LandLab Residency in collaboration with the Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA)

LandLab is a unique artist residency program incorporating artistic creation, ecological restoration and education. LandLab offers resources and space on the Schuylkill Center’s 340-acre wooded property for visual artists to engage audiences in the processes of ecological stewardship through scientific investigation and artistic creation. Offered first in 2014-15, LandLab residents create art-based installations that prevent or remediate environmental damage while raising public awareness about our local ecology.

The Schuylkill Center is committed to building diversity within our community and expanding access to natural areas to all people, regardless of age, class, race, religion, gender, or ability.  We encourage applications from artists of color, women, trans and gender non-conforming artists, artists with disabilities, and others who may deepen the realm of experience represented in our art community.  Since environmental topics span boundaries of identity as well as divisions of class and accessibility, we are particularly interested in recruiting a diverse pool of applicants for this residency.

CFEVA and the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education invite artists to propose creative projects which operate on the platforms of artistic creation, ecological restoration, and education. Learn more.

Amie Potsic:  ENDANGERED SEASONS – Winter. A site-specific installation involving silk imprinted with imagery from the forest canopy.

Artist Reception:  Saturday, March 1st  4 – 6pm, Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education, 8480 Hagys Mill Rd, Philadelphia, PA 19128, (215) 482-7300. The exhibition is on display through April 18th, 2014. On view Monday – Saturday 9:00 am – 4:30 pm
Admission is free.

Two Philadelphia artists take on winter as their subject in installations in the renovated gallery at the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education in Philadelphia.  Amie Potsic’s photographs and installations focus on the intersection of the physical, socio-political, and natural worlds, highlighting the change of seasons as indicators of ecological wellbeing. Nancy Agati’s sculptural installations use natural materials to create forms which resonate with the patterns, shapes and complex structures of the natural world. Both Nancy Agati’ and Amie Potsic have shown their work extensively in Philadelphia, and previously at the Schuylkill Center, so it is a thrill to welcome them back.
