The ARTery needs you
Donation protected
We are two awesome artists looking to build an inclusive community art space in downtown Philipsburg, PA.
ARTery is being founded by Lynn Anne Verbeck and Adrienne Waterston as an art and coffee space. The back of the building will house the pottery and silkscreen printmaking facilities for artists and community members. We will have a coffee shop / hang out space with an art gallery and art shop in the front space.
Artery is moving into 104 Front Street in Philipsburg, PA, which is being revitalized by the Philipsburg Revitalization Corporation (PRC) this year (2021). ARTery will be assisting with the renovations, both demolition and buildout of the space.

We are creating the ARTery to have a place to make art, teach art and promote a love of art. We want the ARTery to be a place for folks to take refuge in making art and finding a sense of community. We believe having a space to sit and unwind fuels creativity. The plan for the space includes having a coffee shop. Melissa Heartsong will be opening the Heartsong Cafe. Melissa is an experienced barista and really enjoys cooking yummy, healthy, locally sourced food. We also envision having other arts educators teaching in the space to help give diversity to our class offerings. We plan to host art exhibitions in the gallery space and will have an art shop with affordable artwork by local artists.
