Mural Arts’ third major public art festival — Site/Sound: Revealing the Rail Park — opens this weekend at three sites in Center City Philadelphia. The festival presents collaborative projects between visual artists and sound artists, who were charged with creating installations and performances in the abandoned spaces that mark the future route of Philadelphia’s Rail Park.
Bressi guided the initial conceptualization of this unique collaboration between multiple arts organizations, community development organizations, private property owners and city agencies. He organized tthe partnerships that came together to produce the project, managed the artist selection process, and organized a muraLAB event related to the festival. The festival was produced by Mural Arts Philadelphia‘s special projects team, in collaboration with Friends of the Rail Park and the American Composer’s Forum.
