Sail away with AITA!
We’ve always wondered if it was possible to build a ship in an AITA bottle, and now thanks to Paul K. Tunis, our dreams have become reality!
Tweet us a picture of your AITA bottle creations, or post them on our Facebook wall!
ART IN THE AGE OF FEDERAL DONUTS
Along with the three Federal Donuts, we’ll also be pairing an AITA cocktail with each!

APRIL EXHIBITION: THE ART OF BEEKEEPING
During the month of April, The Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild will showcase the ancient tradition of beekeeping, highlighting a variety of modern hives types and beekeeping techniques within the Art in the Age gallery space.
For the exhibition, each hive will be painted by select local artists to represent important milestones in beekeeping history. The Beekeepers Guild and Art in the Age hope to increase awareness of, and interest in, the central role that bees play in our food systems, while promoting community participation in the sustainable conservation of the honeybee.
Featuring hives by: Michael Alan, Jesse Mademann, Leanne Biank, Nicholas Polidore, Aaron Birk, Suzanne Matlock
Join us for an artists reception and lecture at the Art in the Age Store; Thursday, April 26th, 6:30-8:30PM
