The Main Line Art Center is dedicated to increasing the awareness of the visual arts for the entire community. The Center cultivates knowledge and enjoyment of the arts by supporting the development of artists of all ages and the growth of audiences for the arts. Located between Montgomery and Delaware Counties, the Art Center has been a primary focus of enrichment and learning for the community since 1937 and serves over 5,000 individuals annually through programs and classes. A hub of activity uniting a diverse group of people, the Center brings together artists, students, and community members of all ages. For sixty years, the Center has provided opportunities that larger, traditional museums and art institutions cannot. In keeping with its mission, the Center focuses on teaching and the exhibition of contemporary art and offers programs that are affordable and accessible to everyone.
"Points of Departure: Art on the Line" is a series of artists' site-specific public projects installed at eight train stations along Philadelphia's "Main Line" from 30th Street Station to Bryn Mawr Station. Curated by Julie Courtney, artists include: Dennis Adams, Susie Brandt, Don Camp, Maria Elena Gonzalez, Virgil Marti, Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Kay Rosen, and Richard Torchia.
There will be a variety of related activities, including lectures, trips, exhibitions in the Center's galleries, and a website. A catalogue will accompany the exhibition.
Exhibition Dates: Installations will begin fall, 1998 and will be on view through June 2001.
