But that would be unfair to the whimsical petting zoo where the animals don't bite back! On any other day you might catch a curious glimpse of the artist's work caged behind a fenced in area. But on every First Friday the corner of 3rd & Arch becomes "alive" with a menagerie of goats, dinosaurs, monkeys, zebras, bullheads, octopi, and them some. The artist carefully crafts all of the above out of reclaimed metal, and they all come in sizes big and small ensuring that you can find a unique gift for someone whether you aim to pay $20 or $200+! During First Friday the sculptor is on hand to answer questions ranging from what scrap metal was used to create a t-rex, to what type of animals he's working on next, and he may even take requests. Fans of trinkets can browse through keychains or tinier animals; while those looking for larger goods can procure full-sized bull heads, giant dinosaurs, and more. While 3rd & Arch is his main Old City point, I have also seen the artist set up shop in the Piazza over the weekend before during special events. So be sure to keep an eye open during other special markets.

Metal Menagerie: "The Petting Zoo Where The Animals Don't Bite Back"…read more I visit Old City for First Friday fairly often. Each trip, I try to make it a point to swing by the corner of 3rd and Arch to see what Metal Menagerie has on display. I love how they take scrap metal and turn them into various animal artworks. I haven't made a purchase yet because my yard needs a lot more work before I'd consider adding a neat display piece. The sculptor is available for questions and seems more than willing to take requests. It is interesting to hear how he comes about getting the materials and the assembly efforts.

Gallery wise Artjaz is just decent. The first time you'll get a kick out of looking at the snazzy…read moremask paintings, and the jazzy shots of various musicians. But from month to month The art that this gallery has to offer doesn't exactly change all that much. During this First Friday I could of sworn that I was looking at exact paintings that I saw 2 years ago, for the 4th time. That doesn't slide very well in an ever changing art world. But at least the art that they show is generally worth looking at. And I do appreciate the free veggie and cheese hookups.

This is a very nice space in the 'Arts District' of Philadelphia. During the course of the year…read morethey hold several 'Opening Receptions' for past, current and new artist. Many of the pieces of art are deep and meaningful without be too 'abstract'. Unfortunately I'm a regular working person and I cannot afford art with the average cost of $1500. There are some less expensive items and prints if you are short on cash, but nevertheless they are a very interesting gallery to visit. When you visit you are greeted with a warm welcome and assistance with any questions you may have. Additionally there are several art programs, classes and workshops offered by Brandywine. If you love art make this a stop on your rounds. The building is located next to the world renowned Clef Club and near many dining options. So stop by checkout some art, go next door to listen to a set and treat yourself to dinner. I will be worth it!
