Featured Event: Frog Hollow Art Show
Every year, the owners of Diving Cat bring together a group of local artists for the Frog Hollow Art Show, held inside a restored mill house in Birchrunville, about 15 minutes away from Phoenixville. I went for the first time a few years ago and can’t recommend it enough! Spend the day wandering through the house and surrounding grounds, enjoying the artwork and chatting with the artists along the way.
