Join artists Petra Floyd (40th Street AIR '16-'17) and Joy Ude at the Lucien E. Blackwell Library (125 South 52nd (52nd St. and Sansom St.) ) to learn basic coiling techniques to transform plain cotton cording into colorful coiled bowls!

Join the 40th Street Artist-in-Residence Program (aka AIR) as we open our studios and gallery to the public for TWO DAYS! Saturday October 14, 12-6pm and Sunday October 15, 12-6pm

We are located in TWO buildings---4007 Chestnut first floor where you will find Artist Liaison Wit Lopez and guest artist Lorraine Glessner (in the gallery) AND 4013 Chestnut first and second floors where you will find the studios of residents Khiry Worrell, Muthi Reed, Santiago Galeas, Josh Graupera, and Margaret Kearney! 

Learn about their artistic process, buy work, and maybe even make some art. Refreshments will be provided at both buildings. 

This is part of the annual Philadelphia Open Studio Tours (POST)
Philadelphia Open Studio Tours (POST), a program of The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, offers a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of a visual artist. This October, explore hundreds of artist studios and community partner spaces in more than twenty Philadelphia neighborhoods and see the artistic process unfold right in your own backyard. 


POST, the largest open studio tours in the region, spotlights the vitality of Philadelphia’s visual arts scene and underscores the important contributions artists make to our city’s economic and civic life. Great for all ages, this citywide festival features studio visits, hands-on demos, workshops, artist talks, receptions, exhibitions and more—all through an approachable and easy-to-navigate, self-guided tour.
