Joan of Arc Statue
The Association for Public Art, originally the Fairmount Park Art Association, is dedicated to enhancing Philadelphia's cultural landscape through public art initiatives. Established in 1933, it emphasizes the connection between art and community while celebrating the city's rich artistic heritage.
One of its notable commissions is Isamu Noguchi's "Bolt of Lightning," a striking 58-ton sculpture that commemorates Benjamin Franklin's famous kite experiment. Positioned at Monument Plaza near the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, this piece exemplifies the Association's commitment to integrating art into civic life and honoring historical figures through innovative design.
