Working with the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, the Association for Public Art (aPA) bike tours are back! Enjoy a FREE public art bike ride exploring Pavilion in the Trees and the newly-installed Big Bling, both by artist Martin Puryear. Puryear's large-scale, temporary Big Bling and Fairmount Park hidden gem, Pavilion in the Trees (1993) were both brought to Philadelphia by aPA. The ride will also highlight other sculpture in West Fairmount Park and along Kelly Drive.
Presented by the Association for Public Art and commissioned by Madison Square Park Conservancy, Big Bling is on view in Philadelphia June-November 2017.
