Visitors who believe that Philadelphia's art scene climaxes with Robert Indiana's Love sculpture and the Rocky statue will be thrilled to grasp that the City of Brotherly Love is teeming with art destinations. American history could be prominent in most people's minds when thinking about Philly, but the culture and art that flows thru the city is equally as wonderful as Independence Hall or the Liberty Bell. A vibrant local artistic community prospers in the city of Philadelphia and the huge number of Philadelphia art galleries available makes their work available to enjoy
First Friday in Philly

Lots of the galleries are located in the Old Town district and are open for viewing in the popular "First Friday".

This is proving to be one of the more popular Philadelphia art galleries because of the revolving exhibits that appeal to introductory art fans as well as those with a rather more practiced eye.
Locks Gallery
