The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania proclaims people ‘have the right to clean air and water, and to the preservation of the natural, scenic, historic and aesthetic values of the environment.’ WE THE PEOPLE: Preserve Our Right to Clean Water, encapsulates these ideas and invites visitors to engage in thought and discussion sparked by a series of events at the Fairmount Water Works celebrating “The Rights and Ways of Water,” including two multi-media art exhibitions by twenty local artists, dance performances by The Naked Stark, and interactive displays throughout the National Historic Landmark site set below the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the Schuylkill River.
We invite visitors to register for these select Saturday Talks to join Thom Duffy, Curator and a few of the participating artists of this special fine art exhibition. The Talk sessions center on the exhibition theme and the artists share personal insights relating to the theme and their work. Sessions are lively engagements with Curator, Artists and all the visitors. Please Join Us!
The exhibition, is curated by Thom Duffy under the direction of Karen Young, FWWIC Director, and brought to you in part by the Fund for the Water Works and the Edward F. Grusheski Water Literacy Foundation.

To our valued visitors, friends and family,
We want to give you a heads-up about parking in our area this summer.
From June 11 through July 19, the FIFA Fan Festival at Lemon Hill is expected to bring significant traffic, road closures, and parking restrictions to our neighborhood. During this time, parking in the surrounding area will be permit-only, including the 2-hour Fairmount Water Works parking lot.

Emily Brown
Artist Statement
Farms and gardens, hot showers, big drinks of cold water, clean dishes: as essential as water is, physically, to all living beings, it serves our spirits as well. How joyous to skim in a boat or on skis on a water surface and watch others as they balance and glide. To dive and swim, to relax and soak, and to then rise up out of the water into air and to dry off with towel and sun: worldwide healthy pleasures.
On puddle, pond, lake or ocean one reads the ripples, waves and foam for signals of shifts in local conditions, the surface hints of changes.
And as we watch, it mirrors our powerful feelings - our fears, our deep longings, our subtle thoughts, our hope for constancy, and our awe.
~ Emily Brown.
