Another mural is adding color to our town. Phoenixville Artist Teresa Haag's latest work is at the corner of 5th Ave. & Gay Street's, on a wall of the Gateway Pharmacy, roughly 90'x30'. According to Haag it's the largest she's ever done. The idea of doing the facade of the original building was a collaboration between Haag and Gateway co-owner Mark Szilagyi. They wanted to showcase the history of Phoenixville and the role the pharmacy played in the town. You can see the mural heading East on Nutt Road, or stop in to the pharmact and take a look!

Our progressive community of Phoenixville is beginning to be quite a hub for murals. Most of the murals around town have been painted on the exterior of buildings and walls, but the newest addition of “View from the Northside” can be found in the main lobby of the Borough Hall Building on Bridge Street. The dedication of this new masterpiece occurred in mid-November, but we had the great pleasure of catching up with artist Teresa Haag in her studio prior to the installation. Teresa used her typical creative process on this special piece, which is quite fascinating. You see, Teresa doesn’t start with a blank canvas, she likes to start with a very busy background that she creates. For this piece, Teresa went to the Phoenixville Historical Society and pulled various photos, postcards and writing samples from the archives of our town. She then enlarged these elements and pasted them down on the boards so that her canvas was already completely populated. She then painted her vision of the north side on these elements, with some of them completely covered and some still peeking through in their new home at the Borough Hall. Many dignitaries as well as the public turned out for the ribbon cutting of this beautiful panorama of Phoenixville from the North Side of town. Teresa spoke from her heart about this piece and how much she loves living and working in our vibrant community. Next time you are in the downtown area, stop by the Borough Hall and catch a glimpse of this beautiful masterpiece.
