Shop On The Square with PAA!
WHAT A WEEK!!
VeruDesigns has the privilege to have been selected and invited to participate in PAA‘s annual “Shop On The Square” event this year, that is taking place from Friday FEB 1st to FEB 9th on the second floor of their gorgeous building, located at 251 South 18th Street, Philadelphia, PA.
For those of you not familiar with the PHILADELPHIA ART ALLIANCE (PAA), they are a world-renowned and probably the most prestigious exhibition space in Philadelphia, known as a center for contemporary craft and design. The organization is housed in a historic building presenting up to twelve incredible new exhibitions every year. “Shop On The Square“ is one of their most anticipated events of the year because it showcases the works of incredible artists from all around the world in a variety of crafts (jewelry designers, furniture designers, fabric and clothing artists, ceramic and glass masters, etc).
I had the pleasure of enjoying the opening night last Friday evening, which was a COMPLETE SUCCESS! The building was packed with visitors from all corners of the city and far away!
I was there not only as an Artists showcasing 13 of my one-of-a-kind pieces availble for purchase (including 2 necklaces NEVER SHOWN BEFORE!), but also as a long-time fan of some of my peers who are also exhibiting their works.
This is why today, I’d love to share with you some of my favorite Shop On The Square Artists whose works you can see in person (AND BUY!) anytime this week until FEB 9th at the PAA.
Meet the amazing EMILY SQUIRES LEVINE: Emily is an amazing Polymer Clay artist who specializes in one-of-a-kind vases that are absolutely unique, vibrant and breathtaking. Especially when you see them in person!
You can buy any of the pieces shown below for a limited time. Make sure to visit Emily’s website by clicking HERE.
But Emily’s works are just the beginning. Below is a quick snapshot of 11 AMAZING Artists whose works are currently on display and available for purchase at Shop On The Square.

I always look forward to your newsletters. They never, ever disappoint! I wish I’d be closer to Philly. Unfortunately San Francisco is quite far away. So happy you decided to share the exhibit with us today. Congratulations to Emily and her work. Wonderful!
BEAUTIFUL! You’ve got me convinced too. I hope the storm stay away over the weekend, because I plan to go. I adore your creations and the works of all these artists!
By the way, Emily’s work is incredible. I might just go to see her vases.
