‘Likeable Art’ in City Hall

Art In City Hall introduces its 55th group exhibition for local emerging and professional artists. ‘Likeable Art’ highlights the artistic achievements of 43 Philadelphia area artists whose works reflect themes that are popular and accessible to the general public.

“Likeable” art is artwork that may be traditional or modern—an intentional usage of space through a careful orchestration of color, form or interacting events, which may be found in still-life paintings, florals, abstract art, landscapes and photography. It’s also art that may be humorous or cater to our lighter side such as works dealing with food, children, animals, or caricatures and cartoons. Featured are metal sculptures, ceramic, photography, oil and acrylic painting, printmaking,and mixed media.

The exhibition was juried by Anne Fabbri, former Director of the Paley Design Center at Philadelphia University; Greta Greenberger, Director of City Hall Tours; Cavin Jones, current Chair of Art In City Hall Exhibitions Committee and local artist/muralist; and Jonas dos Santos, local and international mixed media and performance artist.

Look for the exhibit on the second and fourth floors of City Hall until September 26. For more information, email: artincityhall@phila.gov or call 215-686-9912.
