We’re going to do something really great for Philadelphia art thanks to a prestigious Knight Arts Challenge award–and you!!! We will host First Friday van tours to bring new people to Philadelphia galleries that are off the beaten path and full of excellent art. We’ll capture it all on videotape for YouTube, artblog and elsewhere — to connect an online audience with the art. Good for collectors, good for artists and good for Philadelphia!

Artblog’s art safari project got underway with a Safari run-through to Temple Gallery, Rebekah Templeton Gallery, and Little Berlin. A diverse group of people attended the van tour with Libby and Roberta. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed all of the art they got to see. Enjoy this video promo made from our first test run.
