What have the Museum for Art in Wood Windgate Artist in Residency Program (WARP) residents been working on? Join us for this special show-and-tell event as part of NextFab’s Second Thursday festivities. They’ll show off their spaces at NextFab and discuss the various woodworking projects and designs they’ve been busy with during the residency.
Meet the 2024 WARP Residents:
Tours of NextFab will be available, and light drinks and refreshments will be served.
What are Second Thursdays?
For 17 years, the Crane Arts Building has hosted monthly art exhibitions, performances, and openings on the Second Thursday of every month. Similar to First Fridays in Old City, but not wanting to compete, Second Thursdays were created to highlight the creative community of the North Philadelphia neighborhood – and well it stuck!
American St. is becoming a booming street for artists, makers, and creatives of all types, and we invite you to come out to be a part of this. Between the Crane Arts Building and the Clay Studio, the NextFab building at 1800 North houses eight businesses that will also be opening their doors on the second Thursday of every month. At 1800 N. American St. the creative work ranges from restoring historic neon, sourcing salvaged materials, empowering artists, building bicycles, supporting artisan businesses, a gorgeous floral market, and a restaurant mixing up amazing cocktails. All are welcome to this open house-style event!
