Indigo Arts Gallery

I love this place beyond words! I used to live in Philly and would visit the store in person often. Now that I've been living in Los Angeles for over a decade, I'm grateful I can still shop at Indigo online. Over the last few years I have purchased two of my favorite pieces of art - both Haitian beaded voodoo flags. They are breathtaking. The shop owner, Tony was incredibly helpful in answering my myriad of questions. It's not easy to find crafts from all vast areas around the world, so a shop like this is a true treasure.

Tony Fischer has superb taste and knowledge. His prices are more than fair and his stock is wonderful. I've bought from him many times.

The basket arrived today in perfect shape. It far exceeds my expectations and absolutely gorgeous. The work-woman-ship is amazing, intricate and with exacting details. I'm thrilled. Thank you for your kid assistance, and thanks to the talented woman that created my new work art!

I am glad that they are still in business...I believe that it is a husband and wife team that own/run it.  It sounds like they have a great life traveling and buying cultural artifacts to share and sell in Philadelphia.I used to go here when it was in Olde City in 1997....at that time they had "First Fridays" of each month in which all of the galleries opened up and artists held openings with wine and appetizers...miss that....Philadelphia has changed.I bought and learned about Retablos from the owner and have been collecting them ever since...they are usually a painted wooden box divided in two levels..one telling a religious story and the other about daily life.  The painted boxes have two doors on the front that fold open to allow the viewer to see the story inside made of sculpted figurines, flora, fauna, and other scenes.  Today the art form has evolved to tell stories about folklore and life in rural Peru, Bolivia, and other countries.  Their history began when the herders of animals could not make it to Mass so they brought a prayer box on their route to pray.This Folk Art form is truly amazing.....especially in Latin American Countries...where they are often used to make cultural and political statements.See Indigo Arts Gallery Commentary and On-Line Store...indigoarts.com/galleries…I also have always appreciate the fact that they owners of Indigo Arts host maybe even sponsor..but invite artists from other countries to show their work and spend time at their gallery showing their work through a gallery opening and "meet" the artist.
