The Association for Public Art is offering two public art tours – a morning bike tour and an afternoon walking tour – on Saturday, May 18th, highlighting sculptures included in our Museum Without Walls™: AUDIO interpretive audio program for Philadelphia’s outdoor sculpture. The tours are being offered as part of The Cultural Landscape Foundation’s “What’s Out There Weekend Philadelphia,” a two-day series of diverse, expert-guided tours of Philadelphia (May 18 and 19). Both of our tours are FREE, but registration is required and space is limited.
