Art Galleries in Philadelphia – The Slingluff Gallery

The Slingluff Gallery in Fishtown Philadelphia is an unique Art Gallery because they go for “different”, wanting to educate the novice in the different styles of art. A good example of this is that for a whole month, they featured graffiti art.

The Slingluff Gallery has different shows each month and from November 5th to December 8th, they featured graffiti artists from New York City. Wanting the average person to understand that it’s not just painting on buildings and such. Trying to give you a different perspective of what is behind these graffiti artists and what they have to offer.

The next show is of an Artist, Joe Waks from Bayonne, New Jersey. The show will run from December 10th through the end of the month. Joe focuses on the times in which we have lived in, bringing humor and irony through his art. Check out his work starting on First Saturdays at the Slungluff Gallery.

As we know, the City of Philadelphia is known for its First Fridays amongst the art lovers. There has been a slight buzz in recent years regarding First Saturdays in Philadelphia and the Slingluff Gallery is a part of this new Saturday tradition.
