Philly Art Gift Guide
So many pretty Things
Hi folks. I wanted to do a roundup of Philly artists and artisans that I love. There is nothing that brings me more joy than shouting from the rooftops about all the great work people are putting out into the world. There’s also some obligatory merch from Wawa and Dietz & Watson to round out the roundup. So take a look, buy some gifts, and feast your eyes on these treasures from the city of brotherly love.
*I’m sure I missed some folks making great work, so please share in the comments any other Philly artists that I missed.
