Slingluff Gallery
The Slingluff Gallery is a small art gallery located in the corner of Phildelphia where Fishtown, Northern Liberties, and Old Kennsington meet. The Gallery started in 2006 by Jonathan and Leigh Slingluff, who have been in their current location since 2008. Slingluff wants to bring a different style of art to the City of Philadelphia. For example, they are currently graffiri art, not just to break the mindset that graffiti is ugly, but because these street artists are contemporary art. Their influence on the art scene is bigger than ever and we want others to see that. Not only can you purchase art pieces at the gallery, but online through their web site.
