A temporary installation coming to Philadelphia December 2017, Steinkamp’s proposal includes four glowing Winter Fountains with animated video projections that feature related collections found in the institutions on the Parkway.

Catch Jennifer Steinkamp’s Winter Fountains on the Parkway and head to The Galleries at Moore for complimentary dessert! Includes free admission.
Over the years, the Association has advocated for good civic design, the commissioning and placement of permanent and temporary public art along the Parkway, and the presentation of innovative public programming.
An estimated 17,000 people visited the Benjamin Franklin Parkway throughout the project, making “OPEN AIR” the largest crowd-sourced public art project ever seen in Philadelphia.
The exuberant installation was named one of 31 outstanding public art projects created in 2014.
