or
15 W Ferry Street
New Hope PA 18938
Parking near the gallery may be challenging. There is metered on-street parking in all directions - make sure to keep the meter fed as they LOVE giving out parking tickets here in New Hope. If you have the app Meter Up you can link it to your card and add more time if you need. It will also alert your phone when you are running out of time.
There are also a few private lots around town, and additionally there are some places that offer valet parking.
Getting to New Hope without a car -
While there is almost no local public transit, you are not completely without options for getting here. You could take a Septa regional rail train to Trenton from Philly or a New Jersey Transit train to Trenton from NYC, and then take an Uber to the show which would likely run about $30 each way.
You could also take a Septa train from Philly to Doylestown and then take a similarly priced Uber for about $30 each way.

There is an astonishing number of shops, restaurants, and other points of interest in the area - we have two great river towns here, filled with things to see and do!

Superb Italian byob restaurant, and they happen to be our neighbors! They’re located next door to our studio. Bring your favorite wine with you and enjoy.
Here are some of our favorite local points of interest. All located within a short drive of New Hope and well worth a look if you have some extra time during your visit.
Mercer Museum/Fonthill Castle - A fascinating piece of local Bucks County history. An early 20th century castle made from concrete and covered with a spectacular array of handmade tiles and other artwork, as well as a tile works, and a museum of early industrial America. Excellent side excursion located about a 20 minute drive from New Hope.
Bowman’s Wild flower preserve - Walk through beautiful wooded trails and observe many native plant species. This place is special, and it’s super close to New Hope, about a 5 minute drive away.
Paxson Hill Nursery - 30 acres of awesomeness. A nursery, a walking garden, and peacocks. Needless to say we frequent this place throughout the spring, summer, and fall. There’s always something new to see there.
