ARTISTS ARE EVERYWHERE
Artists live and work in every Philly neighborhood.

Visit Georgena Senior’s studio during POST West of Broad.

ART IS LABOR.

An artist’s work is more than what you see on the wall.
It includes the time spent making, applying for opportunities, building a practice, running a business, and finding ways to make a living.

Artists’ labor is everywhere in Philadelphia, but too often it remains invisible or undercompensated.

Visit Misty Sol’s studio during POST West of Broad.
