Hyatt Centric Center City Philadelphia, the upscale lifestyle hotel nestled in bustling Rittenhouse Square, is pleased to announce the next entry in its “Maker Series,” a monthly program highlighting local artists and creators, featuring local artist Joe Barker, in honor of Black History Month. Barker is a long-time veteran of the Philadelphia art scene, painting in Rittenhouse Square and selling his work to passersby. After years of street art sales, Barker had organically become a staple in the center of the city, landing several high-profile commissions including the Rittenhouse Hotel. A self-taught artist, Barker favors Philadelphia’s buildings, parks and streets for subjects, looking to the Italian market in South Philadelphia, Logan Square, Love Park and many more for inspiration.
The exhibit, which will highlight several of Barker’s watercolor paintings featuring iconic Philly urban landscapes, will be on view from February 1 through February 28, with a Meet the Maker reception on Thursday, February 2 from 6 – 8 pm. Attendees will enjoy complimentary light bites and a glass of prosecco, courtesy of Patchwork Restaurant & Bar. The reception is free to attend and open to the public.
All exhibited works will be available for sale and can be purchased by contacting LAA Art Collective.
