Arts on South


About Arts on South
Arts on South
(AoS) is the innovative program that loans unrented retail stores to local groups to showcase their artwork and invigorate the community.

Featuring artist collectives and community groups that work in a variety of media, these gallery sites brighten the South Street area with creative energy. Check out our blog and facebook page for updates on the exhibitions

All galleries are open from Wednesday - Sunday from 3:00PM - 7:00PM*

*Galleries are required to be open at these times but may be open as much as they wish.


Arts on South Calendar



All galleries offer professional exhibitions and public receptions on the Fourth Fridays of each month. Managed by Philadelphia's Magic Gardens, in collaboration with the South Street Headhouse District, the current Arts on South participants will occupy four retail spaces from December 15, 2011 through April 15, 2012.

If you are interested in participating in the next round of AoS, check out the guidelines and application on this link. Applications for Round 8 (April 15-August 15, 2012) are due on March 15th, 2012.
