WHERE: The Mill Studios ADMISSION: Free 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.
