Beautiful Times

Artists in Residence: Amanda Marie & Hyland Mather

Artists, Amanda Marie and X-O  road tripped around the US leaving behind beautiful art installations at every tour leg to bring awareness to their “Beautiful Times” project.  

Beautiful Times, raised awareness about the world we live in, the protection of our children, and wild flowers.  The tour supported two great causes - the Lady Bird Johnson and The Morgan Adams Foundation.  

August of 2014, Philadelphia was a stop on their tour, and we had the pleasure of hosting Amanda and Hyland.  They were only in town for a few days, but that was just long enough for us to take them around and find some amazing spots for them to leave their mark.

Amanda Marie aka @seeyouthroughit dropped this dreamy campscape in a lucky Philadelphia Community Garden.   While X-O  aka @ihyland left behind one of his Lost Objects pieces. His artwork is made of found, recycled objects, which he gathers while roaming streets and then transforms them into striking, geometric assemblages.

Before they breezed out of town, they bombed the popular Philly graff hot spot, Tattooed Mom. We had a blast seeing it all come together and are so happy that they included us as part of their Philadelphia journey.
