It’s spring house tour time!
If you follow our Unexpected Philadelphia blog and website, you know we’ve visited nine inspiring, art-filled homes belonging to members of the Philadelphia Dumpster Divers – that warm and wacky band of artists and collectors who exhibit, socialize and produce witty, up-cycled art together.
Today we’re heading to South Street to visit the home, gallery and visionary art environment of the couple who initiated us into the Divers’ magic circle: famed mosaic artist Isaiah Zagar and his wife Julia Zagar, owner of South Street’s iconic Eye’s Gallery.
(And, yes, if you guessed that Isaiah and Julia have a few mosaic walls in their home then, well, you guessed right….)
