Since 1776, Philadelphia has been the home of the builders and the craftsmen, the thinkers, and the tinkers. It's where ideas and innovation collided to create the heart of the nation. Born from this spirit, a new heart has risen in Old City ... the '''Philadelphia Art & Design District'''. From Second and Third Street to Market and Race, this '''eclectic gathering of design showrooms and art galleries''' is a collective community presenting the best in creativity, art, and design in a vibrant and dynamic neighborhood.

The Philadelphia Art & Design District is where the collaboration of ideas and services has enlivened and transformed this enclave of "Old City" into a vibrant destination for residents and visitors. It is a place where a Minotti sofa, a Nakashima wood chair, Contemporary European outdoor furniture, handmade local ceramics, contemporary and vintage Persian rugs, ceramics, paintings and sculptures from artists like Kevin Finklea can all be found in one neighborhood. This is the newest destination for home design, art, and shopping, right in the new heart of "Old City".
