ADMISSION: Free
PARKING: Free at the Mill. Additional parking courtesy of nearby

Since its first Open House in 1992, the Mill Studios has
attracted more than 2,000 visitors each year to this event. The Mill has
given both full and part time artists a community environment in which to
create their work. The Mill houses artists who are known locally as well as
nationally and internationally. Selected artists offer classes to the
public.
More that 50 artists will be available to speak with guests
and to show where and how their artwork is produced. Drawing, painting,
printmaking, sculpture, photography, crafts, jewelry, fashion design, and
music will make up the 12th anniversary celebration at the Mill. This event
offers a unique opportunity for the public to view artwork in a non-gallery
setting.
The Mill buildings have a unique history that can be felt by
visitors as they wind their way through the halls and studios. Originally,
the Mill I building was a textile building and served as a warehouse for a
family business until its conversion to artist studios in 1990. In the
forties and fifties, Mill II was the home of a poplular Philadelphia boxing
club. Many of the architectural features, including the boxing ring gallery
are still intact.
Parking, refreshments, and live music.
