Bartram's Garden

Log Number: MA-245660-OMS-20

Established in partnership between Bartram's Garden and Mural Arts Philadelphia, FloatLab, a new public space and floating art object designed by artist J. Meejin Yoon, will allow visitors to engage directly with the Schuylkill River. It will offer an eye-level perspective to explore the intersections of science, nature, and art. Community planning meetings held this year at Bartram's Garden identified safe riverfront access and youth-enrichment opportunities-especially in STEAM and related fields-as overwhelming neighborhood priorities. Program development and implementation will coincide with major capital investment along the riverfront, aligning new facilities with this new curriculum for greater exploration, access, and understanding.
