Artology Students Exhibit Original Art Works in Kensington
 Philadelphia, PA
– July 22, 2007 – The apprehension of 24 city youth, ages 9 to 14, quickly turned
to delight as they clambered over the rocky Wissahickon creek bed on a recent
steamy Monday afternoon. Despite living just minutes away from Fairmount Park, the country’s largest urban park
system, many of these young people had never been in a creek before.
The students are taking part in an
innovative summer camp, Artology, now in its second year, sponsored by BuildaBridge,
a nonprofit arts intervention and education organization based in Germantown. At Artology, a
dynamic, holistic educational program integrating art and biology, students
explore the city’s natural and cultural resources while developing artistic and
academic skills. Art work they create during the 3-week camp will be displayed
for public viewing at an art exhibit opening Friday evening, August 1, at Coral
Street Arts House in Kensington.
