The Philadelphia Portal, an interactive art installation, has been moved from its original location at Love Park to a new site next to the Philadelphia Visitors Center at 16th and JFK.
New Location Details
The relocation places the eye-catching art piece in a prominent and accessible area within Center City Philadelphia.
- Proximity: Next to the Philadelphia Visitors Center
- Intersection: At 16th Street and JFK Boulevard (John F. Kennedy Boulevard)
- City: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This new position ensures the Portal remains a visible landmark for both residents and visitors exploring the city.
Reason for the Relocation
The primary reason for moving the Philadelphia Portal was to accommodate the Christmas Village, an annual holiday market that traditionally occupies space in Love Park. The temporary relocation allows for the seamless setup and operation of this popular festive event without disrupting the art installation.
About the Philadelphia Portal
The Portal is an immersive public art piece designed to connect people across different locations. When operational, it often features a live, two-way video stream, allowing passersby to interact with people in other cities where similar portals are installed. This unique concept fosters a sense of global connection and shared public space.
