Phoenixville is becoming known for its emerging arts and entertainment scene. Currently, the downtown area is home to four distinct art studio’s including Phoenix Village Art Studio, Diving Cat Studio & Gallery, Luttmann Studios, and the Upstairs Studio Artists. The Historic Phoenixville Arts Stroll, to be held this Saturday (10/3/09) will feature these four studios and a collection of guest artists and musicians along the eighteen stops of the stroll. The stroll will start at the Phoenix Village Art Center, founded in 2004, where guests can pick up a detailed brochure of the stroll. Eighteen area businesses are participating by allowing artists and/or musicians to use their storefronts to showcase their talent. The Phoenixville Area Business Association’s events committee collaborated with Maryann Worrell, local artist and art instructor in finding unique artists to showcase in the stroll. Jane Tucker of Steel City Coffee House and Iron Town Productions brought in musicians from a variety of genre’s to perform at various stops on the stroll, including The Flying Mango’s (A Latin-Caribbean fusion trio) and Spirit Wing (A Native American Duo) among others. The event will start at 3:00 PM and end at 8:00 PM, but participants can start the stroll at any time and any pace. Some stops on the stroll include new businesses, Gould Frame at 4 Main Street and Twisted Leaf Cigars at 153 Bridge Street.
