From The Gallery To The Streets: Public Art Coming To Ambler

The Philadelphia Museum of Art has launched a new initiative that will bring art to the streets of suburban communities throughout the region, including Ambler.

“Inside Out” will bring sixty high-quality replicas of some of the Museum’s - and the world’s - greatest works of art to neighborhoods in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

The program, which runs from May through November, will come to Ambler beginning in late August.

Works of art will be in weatherproof casing and located within a short distance of each other in parks and in bustling downtown neighborhoods.

Aiming to help residents ”encounter art in unexpected places,” some featured painters will include: Claude Monet, Georgia O’Keefe, and Paul Gaugin.

In addition to Ambler, other participating towns include:

• Fishtown and Kensington, Philadelphia
• Norristown, PA
• Wayne, PA
• West Chester, PA
• Chestnut Hill and Mount Airy, Philadelphia
• East Passyunk, Philadelphia
• Haddonfield, NJ
• Media, PA
• Newtown, PA
