Exploring Creativity and Artistry: Northern Liberties Artists at Work Art Crawl
Philadelphia’s vibrant Northern Liberties neighborhood is again embracing the spirit of artistic expression with the return of the highly anticipated Artists at Work Art Crawl event. Hosted by the Northern Liberties Business Improvement District (NLBID), this live art-making extravaganza features a diverse group of more than a dozen artisans and artists showcasing their creative process throughout the community.
The art crawl will unfold across fourteen locations, conveniently close to the brand new Northern Liberties Farmers Market, held in the Piazza Courtyard from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Spectators are encouraged to savor the entirety of Northern Liberties, including its bars, restaurants, retail shops, and art galleries, as they navigate the carefully curated route. A custom map will guide attendees to each participating location, while an event webpage provides additional information about the featured artists and crafters.
This year’s lineup of featured artists is genuinely diverse, showcasing the rich tapestry of talent within the community. Artists will set up their workstations outside various businesses and create new artworks right before the spectators’ eyes. Visitors can observe, marvel at the artistic process, and engage with the artists, delving into their mediums, techniques, and inspirations. Expect to encounter illustrators, painters, upcyclers, potters, weavers, and sculptors, each bringing their unique perspective and artistic flair to the forefront. Additionally, art enthusiasts can explore the nearby galleries of Spite Haus, Brotherly Love Gallery, and Pete Checchia Gallery, which further contribute to Northern Liberties’ thriving art scene.
The Artists at Work series initially emerged in the spring of 2020, aiming to support local artists and businesses during a challenging time while adhering to social distancing protocols. Since then, it has blossomed into a dynamic collaboration that infuses vitality into the Northern Liberties’ commercial corridors. With the support of the Penn Treaty Special Services District, this year’s event promises to be even more inspiring and engaging.
The Artists at Work Art Crawl in Northern Liberties promises to be an extraordinary celebration of creativity, community, and the enduring spirit of the arts. For more information about the event, please visit the official event site.
