Manayunk Makers
Highlighting a Few of the Many Local Creatives By Janine Gasarowski Having been in Manayunk for the past couple of years, there is no denying the creative spirit that takes over the neighborhood. The Philadelphia neighborhood once filled with numerous textile mills still exists as a community of creatives of all different mediums.

Below are a few examples of artists who live and/or work in the 19127 and 19128 areas.
