Hey Phoenixville,
This is one of those weeks where the town really shows off. The Art Street Festival takes over Bridge Street on Saturday, and on Sunday the borough celebrates Juneteenth on Bridge Street as well. Two weekends' worth of fun packed into one.
The Colonial is also running its Pride Film Series throughout the week, plus a 12 hour movie marathon on Saturday if you're feeling brave. And if biking is more your speed, the French Creek Iron Tour rolls out Sunday morning with routes up to 100 miles.
So whether you want art, music, movies, there's plenty going on around town this week.
Here's what's happening.
Featured Event
The 9th Annual Phoenixville Art Street Festival takes over the 100 and 200 blocks of Bridge Street this Saturday from 11 AM to 5 PM. More than 70 juried artists will line the street, with live music, street performers, a community painting, and a drum circle mixed in. It's free, it's family friendly, and the shops and restaurants along the route will be in full swing. If you only leave the house once this week, make it this.

Real Estate Spotlight
We’re going to look at something a little more luxurious this week. Set at the end of a quiet cul de sac, this 4,661 square foot Phoenixville home is full of light and character.
Soaring two story spaces, a wall of windows, and a stone fireplace anchor the interior, while lush landscaping, a pergola, patios, and a firepit make the outdoors equally inviting. A first-floor primary suite completes the package. Offered at $1,275,000.

$1.1 Billion in Art Sold in Less Than Three Hours
A single evening only brought in $1 billion at auction one other time, Paul Allen’s estate in 2022.
Christie’s May 18 evening sale was headlined by:
Pollock: $181.2M, nearly 3x his previous record
Brancusi: $107.6M, second highest sculpture price ever
Rothko: $98.4M, a new record for the artist
Obvious outliers, but the evening capped a spring auction season that totaled $2.5 billion (roughly 2x last year). This follows a Q1’26 that saw the postwar contemporary art market grow 23.1%.
Masterworks offers investors the opportunity to invest in blue-chip contemporary and post-war art. Since 2017, it has offered over 500 artworks and raised over $1 billion in total investments.
29 exits to-date have delivered net annualized returns like 16.5%, 17.6% and 17.8% on sold works held over 12 months.
