On the weekend of October 14th and 15th, local artists in our neighborhood will open their studios up to the public for the annual Philadelphia Open Studio Tour (POST). POST is a program of The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, a nonprofit dedicated to making arts careers viable. More than 230 professional visual artists will be opening their studios during this two week citywide event.
In collaboration with POST, New Kensington CDC will provide a shuttle for those needing transportation to and from each studio in the Fishtown/Kensington area. The shuttle loop begins both Saturday and Sunday at 12 noon infront of Johnny Brenda’s (Frankford and Girard), and will make its way around the neighborhood, stopping at each studio along the way. The shuttle will loop every half hour and run until 6 p.m. A $5 donation grants each rider an all-day pass.
Coral Street Arts House is taking special advantage of this event by hosting a collective exhibit of fifteen area artists. The event, called “Attraction,” will showcase local artists exhibiting, selling, and performing their work at the Arts House. Two musical guests, Christine D. Baran and the Neil Podgurski Trio, will be performing on both days. The Arts House is located at Coral & Hagert, and the festivities will take place all-day Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon until 6 p.m.
Come out and join POST and New Kensington CDC in supporting local artists!
