SUMMARY:Watering Manayunk: Some Parks\, a Canal\, and a Tank
DESCRIPTION:Watering Manayunk: Some Parks\, a Canal\, and a Tank\nIn partnership with the Fairmount Park Conservancy and Love Your Park Week\, the Fairmount Water Works is offering this special tour! \nThis special park tour has two parts. Do just the first hour\, or both. \nWe’ll visit the new Venice Island Recreation Center with its green-\nroofed stormwater tank\, river-themed art\, and beautiful spray park. See the intact Lock 69 at the outlet of the Manayunk Canal\, which was built in 1819 when Manayunk was barely a settlement\, and the towpath linear park. \nIn the second hour we’ll walk uphill to the new Cynwyd Trail\, just opened in 2015 atop the Manayunk Railroad Bridge\, for a spectacular view of the canal and river. How did the canal take us almost 200 years later to the need for a stormwater tank? Hear the story from Manayunk resident Sandy Sorlien\, a watershed educator and expert in the Schuylkill Navigation system. Optional: stick around for lunch or shopping on Main Street\, or view the peregrine falcons of Pretzel Park. \nPart I has about a mile of easy walking; add 2 miles round-trip for Part II. \nParking: lot at Venice Island \nTrain: SEPTA Norristown line to Manayunk Station \nThis is a FREE tour\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:"Falling Waters: The Legacy of the Schuylkill Navigation" (Reception)
DESCRIPTION:Falling Waters: The Legacy of the Schuylkill Navigation\nA Culture & Conversation Exhibit by Sandy Sorlien \nOn exhibit in our Media Room and stairwell until December 30\, 2016\, during regular hours.\nClosing Reception: Thursday December 29\, 5:30-7 PM\, Gallery Talk 6:15\n\nAbout the Exhibit\nNo human endeavor has had a greater influence on the Schuylkill River than its 19th century network of dams. Yet residents of Southeastern Pennsylvania today may know little about the Schuylkill Navigation\, as most of its infrastructure is gone. There were once 32 dams\, 46 miles of slackwater pools\, 62 miles of canals\, and 120 locks. \nConstructed from 1816-1828 to tame the wild river\, the privately-owned system extended 108 miles from Fairmount to Port Carbon. Thus began a long period of human dominance of the river for our own purposes: transportation\, commerce\, power\, and recreation. Anthracite coal\, other raw materials\, and finished goods were carried on barges over this system\, literally fueling the Industrial Revolution in the Schuylkill Valley. It brought numerous factory boom towns like Norristown\, Conshohocken\, and Manayunk.  Unfortunately\, with this development came heavy pollution of Philadelphia’s drinking water source. Finally in 1947-51\, our state and federal government accomplished a massive cleanup\, the Schuylkill River Project\, dredging coal silt from the river and largely restoring its flow. \nMost of the infrastructure of the Schuylkill Navigation was demolished. But there are four remaining navigation dams\, two desilting dams\, two watered canals\, one working lock\, and numerous dam abutments\, lock ruins\, canal traces\, and silt impoundment basins. Some remnants are buried or overgrown or blocked by railways. In 2013\, photographer Sandy Sorlien began looking for them. \nAt the 200th anniversary of the Schuylkill Navigation\, this exhibition represents the first three years of Sandy’s ongoing quest to photograph all 32 dam sites on her native river. \n“Falling Waters” will be on display at the Fairmount Water Works from September 15 – December 31\, 2016. (The gallery is occasionally used for private events. Calling ahead is suggested.) \nAbout the Artist\nSandy Sorlien is a photographer\, neighborhood planner\, and watershed educator. Her photographs are in the collections of numerous institutions\, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art\, the Michener Museum\, and Haverford College. Since 2012 Sandy has been a contractor at the Fairmount Water Works\, the education arm of Philadelphia Water. She has developed several upriver dam-related programs\, including the Falling Waters tour series and the Schuylkill Dam Series geocaches. She was born and raised in the Schuylkill River watershed and lives in Roxborough near the Manayunk Canal. Sandy rows out of Bachelors Barge Club on Boathouse Row\, and watches carefully for herons\, kingfishers\, and otters – all biological indicators of a healthy river. \nAbout Culture & Conversation\nUsing art as the platform\, Culture & Conversation prompts meaningful\, thought-provoking dialogue about our environment.

SUMMARY:Urban Sea Exhibit by Melissa D’Agostino
DESCRIPTION:URBAN SEA\, a site-specific textile installation and interactive experience byMelissa D’Agostino\, inspires conversation about the river’s historic role as a water mass and its future evolution based on the health of our watershed systems. Engineered to unfurl alongside the river between six of the historic pavilion columns\, URBAN SEA will showcase 60 yards of silk organza fabric hand-dyed by the artist’s itajime technique of patterned vertical lines.\n \nViewers will see the one of a kind patterned tapestries blowing with the breeze\, creating the billowing waves of an URBAN SEA.  \nURBAN SEA will be on display from Monday\, September 26 through Thursday\, September 29. Exhibit times are as follows (under the FWW Pavilion): \n\nMonday (4pm – 7pm)\nTuesday (4pm – 7pm)\nWednesday (4pm – 7pm)\nThursday (4pm – 7pm)\n\nThroughout the exhibit\, D’Agostino invites visitors to express their own thoughts of the experience at a poetry desk and drawing table. She’s also collaborated with a local letterpress maker to develop a commemorative card for URBAN SEA featuring a poem and drawing by the artist\, as a special gift for each viewer to remember and share their experience of the installation. \n
