Orbit Art Gallery

Orbit Art Gallery Orbit Art Gallery is chock full of various fine art forms both local and global. After 15 years in Center City, we moved to a larger space in Manayunk.

Tucked away sharing a doorway with the canal house leasing office next to Winnie's LeBus, this gallery is full of hidden treasures for you to explore. Orbit Gallery began in 1981 as a small Philadelphia-based craft gallery, originally called Art a la Carte. We now have 2 locations on Main Street, and are active members of the Manayunk Development Corporation.

We are now fully into the season complete with canned music coming out of the speakers in the mall. What else says Christmas like Jessica Simpson singing "Little Drummer Boy." For a bit more authentic experience stop by Orbit and check a ton of hand made gifts done by professionals...no pipe cleaner art we promise Shown below are prints by Charles Cushing who has been documenting life in our fair city for over 40 years!

We just got back from NYC from the big gift show show at the Javit's Center. More about that later. I wanted to post one of Sarah Baptist's paintings that were part of the show and reception we held her for Sarah this summer. We have a strong belief in Sarah's talent and we'll keep a permanent collection of her work for sale here at Orbit Gallery ( 4312 Main Street.) Stop by and check out all of Sarah's paintings. The piece shown below depicts diners at Winnie's restaurant enjoying a meal on a beautiful summer day!

We've been doing some pre Plein on Main prepping and we're looking forward to having new work from regional power house Sarah Baptist. Sarah, although she's too modest to say, is like having our own Utrillo. Sarah turns mundane street scenes into impressionistic explorations that reflect both the excitement and sadness of city life. Check out her new work shown below and coming to Orbit gallery very soon. Orbit is located at 4312 Mains Street in beautiful but never mundane, Manayunk!

Each year we spend about 6 hours doing a Christmas window. Sandy works with maybe10 square feet to create a magical and tasteful display of all the cool things we carry at Orbit. Stop by Orbit (4312 Main St) this season and purchase a gift that was made by hand with love and care from the heart. We're open every day Tuesday thru Sunday 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM! A quick shout to one of our artists Eric Bauer who took the wonderful photos of our Christmas window!

"So this is Christmas...and what have you done?" An iconic lyric by John Lennon almost 50 years ago. In response Orbit is doing lots of great things for the holidays. We were back on the road this summer and we ran across lots of wonderful new artists. Pictured below are micro glass Critters by WGK Glass. These critters each sell for $6.00 and are the most accurate miniatures we've ever seen. Come check out these and other great pieces at Orbit Gallery located at 4312 Main Street in down town Manayunk! Check out all of the wonderful US made handmade works we carry this holiday season!

This print is based on a painting of Nick Santoleri's called "The "S Bridge." There have been a number of bridges between Manayunk and what back in the day was called West Manayunk. The S bridge was then replaced by the famous Spanish arched bridge that currently spans the Schuylkill. There were concerns that the S bridge wasn't able to handle the large sized trains the Pennsylvania RR was running across it. The bridge had also sustained minor damage during a series of earlier floods. The new bridge we all know and love opened in 1918 and was decommissioned in the late1970s. The S Bridge print is available at Orbit Gallery in 2 sizes that sell for $40 and $100 respectively!
