INVISIBLE RIVER: A Celebration of the Schuylkill

INVISIBLE RIVER is a public art and boating event that celebrates the Schuylkill River, conceived by Alie Vidich (ACG '12, '10). Audiences travel in a flotilla of 65 boats witnessing live dance, music and sculpture installations on the river’s shores, waters and air spaces. Audiences depart from the Dragon Boat Docks on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Philadelphia’s West Fairmount Park and make a 2-mile loop to the Strawberry Mansion Bridge and back. Throughout the journey, they hear narration about the Schuylkill’s environmental history as it relates to the specific geography that they are experiencing. Additional audiences witness the event for free from the shores of the river in Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park. It takes place on Saturday, July 12th and Sunday, July 13th from 6:15-9pm.
