Delaware River with Movie Night: "Rivers and Tides"

Come celebrate art, ecology and the Delaware River with a movie night!

Thursday, August 26 - 8:00 p.m. at Jefferson Square Park, Washington Ave and S. 4th Street

The new pop-up park at Pier 53 on the Delaware River, located at Washington Ave. and Columbus Blvd will open this fall! The design of the new meadows, woodlands and recreational trail will combine art and design sensitive to river ecology. Come celebrate this new resource for South Philly and the city by watching Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time. 

This 90-minute film is a beautiful look at Goldsworthy's ecological art and his creative process:

œ¦ a mesmerizing, poetic and curiously contemplative portrait of revered Scottish sculptor Andy Goldsworthy, whose long-winding rock walls, icicle assemblages and other intricate, druidic masterpieces are made entirely of materials found in the wild. Gorgeously shot and edited by director Thomas Riedelsheimer, RIVERS AND TIDES is an intoxicating study of the fragile relationship between man, art and nature.

Join the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the Friends of Jefferson Square, Queen Village Neighbors Association  and Pennsport Civic, and the Delaware River Waterfront Corporation for this special event.
