Dumpster Divers Art Gallery

I love it when the chance of being the first to review another kick ass place come together. And the Dumpster Diver Gallery is definitely one of those places thats truly one of a kind. the location used to be an old storefront on South Street, and is currently still available for rent. But rather then have the building be an empty eyesore on a location that has a lot of people passing by for an extended amount of time, It’s owners decided to let the Dumpster Divers use it as «Diver Central», until they find a proprietor for it.
The Dumpster Divers are a loose group of about 40 artists who create their work entirely from what others discard. and they definitely have a lot of diverse and crazy offerings on display. The first time I took a walkthrough I was exposed to all kinds of interesting lamps, tables, chairs, mosaics, mirrors, paintings, and then some. and as long as trash is readily available in Philadelphia, they’ll always be adding more artworks to the distinct mix. Your guess is as good as mine when it comes to figuring out how long it’s going to be in existence. But while it is it definitely makes for an interesting spot to check out.
