About
Phillyside Arts: Contemporary Fine Art Management, Networking and Sales
Phillyside is a collective of artists and businesses dedicated to presenting and preserving art. Our goal is to help artists achieve their potential while forging working relationships with companies and agents that have the resources the artists need. Our active involvement with the artists assists them in achieving their goals.
What does Phillyside do?
Phillyside artists meet once a month on the last Thursday of the month to discuss art, help each other and critique each other’s art in a friendly and productive atmosphere. Each artist is then given their own profile on the Phillyside website that includes a brief description of their artwork, goals, and samples of their art. We do the same for galleries, agents and partners that we feel could help our artists. We offer free promotion for any member’s shows and gallery openings is provided by means of a monthly or bi-weekly email newsletter to all Phillyside subscribers.
