Garden next to Isaiah's studio is in danger!
Isaiah is asking for your help to find a way to preserve a unique piece of Philadelphia's art history. The property next to Isaiah's Studio, 1022-24 South Street, has become a landmark visited all hours of the day and night. It is a very popular tourist destination. People come from all over the world. Local residents visit regularly. The various trolley and bus tours have made it one of their stops. Isaiah often treats visitors to an inside look of the site.
Isaiah adopted the property when it was a vacant trash strewn lot. It is now an integral part of his mosaic world. This studio "garden" which Isaiah does not own is in jeopardy and must be saved so it can be shared, studied and enjoyed by the citizens and visitors to the city of Philadelphia in the future as well as now.
If you are interested in helping save the studio garden please call 215-327-9911 or email info@isaiahzagar.com
