Our Mission

Public Eye is a Philadelphia-area group that produces public events featuring the arts. We focus our lens on the interactions between human and nonhuman animals in order to shed light on hidden or ignored injustices and to promote a cruelty-free lifestyle. Public Eye is a project of Mobilization for Animals (PA), a 501C3 nonprofit organization.

Goat Vice

Public Eye is currently recruiting artists for our upcoming exhibit Myths & Logos, exploring how media images of animals shape public opinion about animal issues. Artists will create original works of art depicting the juxtaposition between animals in the media and how these animals are treated.

"Families celebrate July 4th with our Kids Club & The Vegan Bus.

Join Public Eye: Artists for Animals and The Vegan Bus for a down-home vegan BBQ with hula hoops, lawn games, musical instruments, and an art project. The Vegan Bus is a group of activists, artists, and speakers traveling on a full-sized school bus running on waste vegetable oil. The Bus uses art, performance, and media to raise awareness of the connections between dietary choice, personal health, cultural ethics, and globally sustainable ecology. The Bus will park at Clark Park, a lovely setting in University City with trees and a playground. Please bring a vegan/vegetarian picnic lunch, blanket/lawn chairs, and drinks for your family. We will provide additional items (veggie dogs, burgers, etc.) for the BBQ! Friendly dogs are welcome at Clark Park. We request an RSVP with the number and ages of your children.
