After creating Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens (PMG) artist Isaiah Zagar began work on his next art environment, the Watkins Street Studio at 1002 Watkins Street in South Philadelphia. At nearly 10,000 square feet, the former studio is three times larger than PMG. The space was recently gifted to the nonprofit by Isaiah and his wife Julia. Come join us for a behind the scenes guided tour and be among the first to experience this enormous artwork!
Learn about the artist, his influences, and the many collaborations that made the Watkins Street Studio possible. See where tiles were created and materials amassed for Isaiah’s mosaics. Discover how the nonprofit PMG hopes to preserve and share this creative landmark with the community for years to come.
A knowledgeable PMG educator will lead a 60 minute tour of the first floor of the studio followed by some time to look more closely and explore on your own. The entire tour takes place indoors.
Tickets must be purchased in advance.
*Reservations are required for PMG members and are limited to 1 ticket per tour for Individual Members and 2 tickets per tour for Dual Memberships and above. Please sign in to our website or call 215.733.0390 to reserve. Become a PMG member!
