SUMMARY:August Open House
DESCRIPTION:Join the NextFab community at our monthly Open House! Tour our spacious facility\, meet our talented members\, and discover how you can turn your ideas into reality. Explore our specialized shops – including textiles\, jewelry\, woodworking\, and more – and learn about our membership options\, classes\, and how NextFab can support your creative journey. \nEach month\, we highlight specific members\, resident artists\, and partners from our community.

Get hands-on help fixing jewelry\, furniture\, appliances\, and more. (Check their guidelines before you go!)\nClosing Reception: Philadelphia @250: Living Room is a two‑month exhibition featuring work by artists who both live in Philadelphia and produce their work inside NextFab’s fabrication studios. As the city celebrates its 250th year\, we wanted to create a show that feels like a “living room” of local creativity—intimate\, handmade\, and rooted in the stories and materials that define Philadelphia’s artisan community. The show brings together makers working across craft\, sculpture\, design\, and creative technology—people whose practices are shaped by the neighborhoods they live in and the shared workspace they create within. It’s very much a portrait of Philadelphia’s creative ecosystem at this moment.\n\nAbout Second Thursdays\nOur monthly Open Houses are hosted as part of Second Thursdays\, a neighborhood-wide celebration originally created by the Crane Arts Building. It’s the perfect chance to explore local open studios\, artist showcases\, and unique independent businesses. \nWhile you’re here\, be sure to check out all of the fantastic businesses located alongside us at The Wheelhouse (1800 N. American St.): \n\nThe Resource Exchange: Visit the reCreate gallery’s latest exhibition and enjoy after-hours shopping of reclaimed materials\nSor Ynez: Mexican restaurant with a scratch kitchen/bar offering patio seating and dance nights\nKeystone Bicycle Co.: Full service worker-owned cooperative bike shop offering repairs\, builds and gear\nCenter for Creative Works: A progressive art studio focused on professional development and representation of neurodivergent artists\nVirida: Vintage goods\, locally made art and botanical styling\n\nCost: Free and open to the public!
