Creative Arts

Get those creative juices flowing by creating your art en plein air – outside on Schuylkill Banks! Painters, photographers, sculptors, writers, and songwriters come to Schuylkill Banks to draw inspiration from the river, greenery, bridges, skyline, and activity along the river.

Helpful Hints for Artists on Schuylkill Banks

• Please keep yourself and others safe by staying off the trail while creating your art.
• Be aware that driving in to the trail is prohibited, so any supplies must be carried in or pulled in using a small cart or wagon.
• It is a good idea to bring water, snacks, and an umbrella for shade if you plan on being out for several hours.
• Please pick up after yourself and be careful not to get any paint, clay, or other media on trail furniture or other structures.
