Young Philly artists’ mixer: an Instagram recap
In the Philadelphia Art Alliance’s historic(read: really, really cool) building last night, young artists and art aficionados came out to meet some of the city’s top artists and makers and look at their art, of course. This being an art event, we figured Instagram was the best medium to express the night.
