Mew Gallery Holiday & Closing Information

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

After 3 wonderful years, Mew Gallery will be closing for good.  We so appreciate all of your support!!

Don’t cry South Philly locals!  Something new and just as exciting will be opening in the neighborhood in February!  Look for Nice Things…Handmade coming soon to 1731 East Passyunk Ave.  It’s a new store/gallery by our friend Elissa Kara!

Before we say goodbye for good, though, we want you to know the following info:

1.  We will be closed for Christmas vacation from Dec. 24 - Jan. 1.

2.  We should still be open for business January 2 - January 11 as we pack up.  There will be furniture and fixtures for sale too!!

3.  If you are an artist who consigns here please make an appointment with us to come get your stuff (or make arrangements to ship it back)!  Hopefully you already got the email and letter we sent out last month.  If not, please note that all  of your merchandise must be picked up before January 8, 2010 or it will become property of Mew Gallery LLC or be donated to a charity.  The best way to reach us is by email: mewgallery(at)yahoo(dot)com.  Most artists are making appointments for the week of January 4 - January 8.  Mon - Fri.  Let us know what works best for you!!

Thank you all for everything!!  and PLEASE continue to support local artists and small businesses!!

for her: antique watch movement, pocket watch casing, and typewriter key necklaces, rings, earrings, and pins.
for him: watch movement and typewriter key cufflinks and tie tacks/lapel pins. OH, and did i mention the LIBERTY BELLS??
also hand-crocheted hats to keep your ears warm, recycled leather and crocheted wrist cuffs.
and you can’t go wrong with the city’s best brunch, and drink specials for this event ($2 kenzingers and $4 mimosas!)
last week i sold out of the watch movement necklaces in the first hour (!!!) so please come early so you get first pick! (i’ve been working my little fingers to the bone, so you’ll all have a good selection to start with)
