DrinkPhilly.com Opens Doors For First Fridays

New Startup Company Looks to Help Local Artists by Doubling Office as Art Gallery

 

(PHILADELPHIA, July 9, 2010)   Adam Schmidt, owner and president of DrinkPhilly.com, recently opened a new office in Old City in Philadelphia.  His organization wants to give something back to the artistic neighborhood by doubling their office as an art gallery and opening their doors for “First Fridays,” an Old City custom that all the art galleries participate in by opening their doors for free admission to the public.  Schmidt plans to showcase featured craft brewers, wine makers, and cocktails at the events to also help those local in the industry, as well as feature live music and food by local restaurants.

 

“I think it’s going to be a really terrific event.  Not only are we seeking to help local artists by providing a great venue at a great location, but we will have great beer/wine/cocktails that will just enhance the overall experience.”

- Adam Schmidt

   President & Founder of Drink Philly

 

Drink Philly will be opening their doors the first Friday of every month starting with their first event August 6th, 2010.  Their office is located on the corner of 3rd and Chestnut, at 239 Chestnut St. on the second floor.  All interested artists in showcasing their work may contact info@philly.thedrinknation.com
