Artists


The cornerstone of the Frankford Avenue Arts Corridor and the Kensington neighborhood’s emerging culture is the profusion of artists representing a multitude of trades and creative mediums. Some some have their workshops here, while others live here and work out of home studios, but all are a part of the fabric of the neighborhood.  NKCDC wants to encourage your support of our local artists.  Below is a recent listing of artisans currently residing or operating out of the Frankford Avenue Arts corridor, and a video showcasing the vibrant artistic culture in the neighborhood.

Make sure to check out our News and Events page for the latest updates on Frankford Ave happening!  Also become a Frankford Ave Arts friend on MySpace and Facebook!
