Mew Gallery

Unfortunately, Mew closed last week, due to the bad economy. So sad for all involved. 1÷10÷10

Mew is a great little shop for so many reasons. All of the work sold at Mew is made by local artists, and we all know that supporting local artists is important!!! Even better — many of those artists are my good friends! Mew offers a large and ever-​changing selection of hand made jewelry, clothing, hand bags, ceramics, greeting cards, home decorations, artist prints and photography. Great place to pick up a special gift.
Stop in for a look while you’re grabbing some fresh produce in the italian market or if you are waiting for a table next door at Sabrina’s!

A perfect little boutique /​gallery, its owners are completely dedicated to supporting Philly’s fantastic community of makers and artists. New work is stocked practically daily, so you’re always sure to find something a little different to look at. It’s a great place to wait for your table at Sabrina’s, or take your out of town friends during a trip to the Italian market. Mew is one of my favorite places to shop for gifts.
A little-​known bonus is that most of the time, the person who’ll ring up your purchase is one of the artists who makes the goodies. They have a really wonderful co-​op program.

I’ve known about Mew Gallery for ages it seems (we’re random Myspace friends!). But it took their new art display, «The Heart Is A Dagger Above All Else» To finally check it out (thanks for the tip Carrie!). And I’m definitely happy that I did because it’s a beautiful little spot for all things art!
There was plenty of handcrafted goods, jewelry, painting, and mosaics to go through. and the art styles it offered ujp ranged from quaint and traditional to bizarrely odd. You’ll definitely find at least one thing thats perfect for any art fan in your crew.
At the center of it all was the incredible artwork of J.L. Schnabel. Her new portrait series showcases historic women that society has deemed femme fatales — Cleopatra, Joan Of Arc, and Mata Hari to name just a few. The painting are heavy on metallic colors, and it really articulates there facial features and gives them a supernatural feel. The dispaly is running until August 29^th and it’s definitely worth checking out!

Mew Gallery is a cute, little shop in the Italian Market area. This store sells everything from unique, one-​of-​a-​kind jewelry to handmade candles to handspun & dyed yarn. The company that my boyfriend and I own, TAME clothing, also sold some of our t-​shirts and pillows there and I can tell you from first-​hand experience that the ladies that own this gallery are some of the friendliest people anybody could have the pleasure of dealing with. I would recommend Mew to any shopper who loves handmade products and to DIY-​ers who are looking for a cool shop to sell their goods in.

Stocked with cute handcrafted goods and original art, Mew Gallery is a great place to find anything from a unique housewarming present to the perfect accessory to wear on your next date. The owners are dedicated to supporting local artists and artisans, so your purchase benefits folks in the community while making you look like quite the savvy shopper. Stop by while you wait for a table at nearby Sabrina’s or between your other Italian Market errands.

Mew Gallery is the newest edition to the Italian Market. It’s pretty much right next door to Sabrina’s so when your wait outside is too long step inside and have a look around. The front of the store is a shop with goods ranging from 1″ pins, redesigned shirts, handspun and dyed yarns and various paper products. The register area/​jewelry case divides the space and the back of the store is the gallery. At the moment they are featuring various artists who work at the local Whole Foods Market.
The owners are very friendly and are willing to answer any questions. The décor and color scheme is fabulous and they have amazing displays for the wares. Shop here, the objects are very unique!
