Philadelphia conceptual artist Randy Dalton invites you to “see what blue can do” at one of the two physical manifestations of DO BLUE, his 12 year quest to put the spotlight on the area’s artistic abundance. The studio/ exhibition/gathering space features over a hundred blue light sculptures, models and memorabilia. It illustrates the positive effects of doing blue, using paint, found objects, ink, paper, electricity and imagination to create a different way of seeing the world.
