Visitors who believe that Philadelphia's art scene tops with Robert Indiana's Love sculpture and the Rocky statue will be happy to grasp that the City of Brotherly Love is rife with places to find quality fine art. American history could be on the forefront of most people's minds when thinking of the city, but the culture that flows thru the city is equally as amazing as Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell. A colorful local art community flourishes in the city of Philadelphia and the gigantic number of Philadelphia art galleries available makes their work easily available
First Friday in the City
Seeded across the city - from the outdoor mosaics of Philadelphia's Magic Gardens to the Picasso's hanging in the Museum of Art - there are galleries in Philadelphia that cater to styles from eclectic to traditional. Plenty of the galleries are found in the Old Town district and are open for viewing during the time of the popular art events of "First Friday".
Slingluff Gallery
Found in Fishtown and owned by Jonathon Slingluff and his wife Leigh, Slingluff offer monthly showings that can range from local street art to contemporary art from all over the planet. This is proving to be one of the more favored Philadelphia art galleries because of the ever changing exhibits that appeal to introductory art aficionados as well as those with a more practiced eye.
Locks Gallery
Occupying a stately 3-story building in Philadelphia's Washington Square, Locks Gallery enjoys a rep as one of the most prominent art galleries in Philadelphia.
