Art + Soul Food in Brewerytown
West Girard Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood is experiencing a “Brewerytown Renaissance,” according to the West Girard Business Association. Sounds like a good excuse for a party.
The WGBA is hosting Art + Soul Food on Saturday, June 13th on W. Girard Ave (between 26th and 30th streets). The event will feature art exhibits from artists like Beth Beverly, Sarah Peoples and Bob Deane in unoccupied storefronts temporarily converted into galleries. Exhibitor styles include painting, sculpture, digital video, even taxidermy.
Can’t make it on the 13th? No worries, Art + Soul Food will be back at it on June 20th and 27th, culminating in a 4th of July celebration.
Plus the events will be serving up some of the best Soul Food in the city (some call W. Girard “the epicenter of soul food in Philly) along with free water ice from Rita’s. Throw in a ton of live musical performances, including a live high school band, and Art + Soul looks like it’s shaping up to be a pretty fun month of Saturday afternoons, for a renaissance man (or woman), that is.

Ahhh, now I know why there were so many white people with umbrellas on my block on Saturday. I really think it’s great and all that there’s art in our neighborhood but where’s our goddamned grocery store? Don’t say Whole Foods.
