Mural at 1241 Carpenter Street Artists Studios by Philip Adams, Mural Arts
our building

Over fifty artists and craftspeople working in an awesome 19th Century factory building. 

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the Main Belting Company manufactured the enormous belts that kept the industrial gears spinning in Philadelphia and beyond.

Today our building is always buzzing with our many creative businesses and art studios. Local artists say, 1241 Carpenter remains one of Philadelphia’s long-lasting artist enclaves, and one of the best. The diverse group — a collection of painters, blacksmiths, book restorers, screen printers, and more — allows collaboration.

7X10 : UNSEEN WORK , Stella Untalan Three drawings

I’m excited to invite you to my new exhibition [ 7X10 ] : Unseen Work at ARTSPACE1241.

I’m exploring dimensional work in previously undiscovered groupings and configurations. Sometimes an exhibition is an experiment not a presentation.

The drawings on wood panels and MDF bend over the edges on occasion, extending the plane and your visual experience. Savor the formal repetition of elements, exploration of space, and the beauty of color, line, and texture.
