About Scenes of the Schuylkill
Scenes of the Schuylkill, hosted by the Schuylkill River Greenways NHA, is an annual juried art show and sale that celebrates the beauty of the Schuylkill River Region through art. Artists from around the region are invited to submit up to 3 pieces of original artwork that celebrates the people, landscape, and history of the watershed. Case prizes are awarded in 3 categories: fine art, sculpture, and photography. Members and supporters of SRG are invited to an opening reception where they have the opportunity to meet the artists and purchase art.
Prospectus and artist applications coming soon.
The Schuylkill River Greenways National Heritage Area encompasses the Schuylkill River watershed within Schuylkill, Berks, Chester, Montgomery, and Philadelphia Counties (a watershed is the region draining into a river, river system, or other body of water). This includes over 1.2 million acres (1,750 square miles) and is home to 3.2 million people. SRG strives to revitalize and restore the Schuylkill River region through natural and cultural resource conservation, recreation, education, community revitalization, and heritage tourism. Scenes of the Schuylkill River Heritage Area shines a spotlight on the
unique qualities of the region through the talents of the arts community.
“When people become connected and they have a relationship with the river because they bike there, they fish there, they paint there and do art there; then they fall in love with the river and become ambassadors of the river,”
- Elaine Schaefer-SRG Executive Director
