More than 140 professional artists will line the park, while nine student artists will showcase work at booths located in the center of Rittenhouse Square. 

Each of the student artists are nearing the completion of their fine or studio art programs at schools like Tyler School of Art at Temple University, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Rowan University, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Arcadia University and Studio Incamminati in South Philadelphia. 

The art show will open at 11 a.m. each day, and will run until 6 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. It will wrap for the season at 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 5. 

"We're thrilled to continue the tradition of presenting this fine art experience in Philadelphia," Sandra Sedmak Engel, Rittenhouse Fine Arts Association board chair told the South Philly Review. "It's rewarding for all the artists to be part of such a signature event for the region."
