Digital collage by David, a previous participant in Amber Art & Design’s environmental art and justice program.

Come check out the artwork of 20 teens who have participated in a week-long series of workshops on art and environmental justice with Lenapehoking~Watershed artist-in-residence Amber Art & Design (Linda Fernandez and Keir Johnston). the students are all part of a program called Summer Search. Amber Art has been working with Summer Search throughout the pandemic (virtually) and this will be their first in-person group event. Super exciting!

The Showcase will take place near the Water Spirit sculpture installation A Conversation. The youth art will be installed along a trail in the park and taken down after the event is over; come catch it while you can! However, the Conversation installation will remain.

Accessibility info

The Showcase will take place in front of the Cobbs Creek Community Environmental Center at 63rd and Catherine St. at the bottom of a steep hill. Once you are on the trail it is fairly flat and smooth. There are a few parking spots down by the Center but you can also park along 63rd street. SEPTA stops for the bus lines 21 and 46, the 34 Trolley (Green Line) and the Market Frankford Line (60th St stop) will all drop you within a 15-minute walking distance to the Center.
