"When mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar (1939-2026) moved to Philadelphia's South Street in the 1960s, he saw an opportunity to not only revitalize a neglected area but transform it into a haven for creatives. He began working on what would become Magic Gardens, an immersive environment with sculpted metal, wood, and concrete forms that entice visitors through maze-like passageways crafted from glass bottles, bicycle wheels, dinnerware, architectural elements, and so much more."
"Tour the unique Recycled Artists in Residence (RAIR) program Since 2010, RAIR has established itself as a unique opportunity for emerging, mid-career, and established artists. By facilitating artists' direct engagement with the waste stream, the program encourages residents to consider their studio practices through the lens of sustainability and to thoughtfully reassess how they source materials and dispose of waste."
Colossal is offering a membership-drive prize: an art-filled weekend in Philadelphia for two that includes travel vouchers, lodging, private tours, and attraction tickets. The winner will take a private tour of Paradigm Gallery + Studio spanning three floors in Old City. Visitors will explore Isaiah Zagar's Magic Gardens, an immersive mosaic environment constructed from glass bottles, bicycle wheels, dinnerware, and reclaimed materials. The weekend includes a visit to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, featuring 200 galleries and a summer display of Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers.' The itinerary also features a tour of Recycled Artists in Residence (RAIR), a program engaging artists with the waste stream to promote sustainable studio practices. Lodging will be at YOWIE, a design-forward boutique hotel.
