Philadelphia's Magic Gardens

Discover the Magic of Philadelphia's Magic Gardens

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens is a vibrant mosaic art environment created by artist Isaiah Zagar. Since the late 1960s, Zagar has dedicated his life to beautifying the South Street neighborhood, transforming derelict spaces into colorful works of art. The Magic Gardens, which began as a personal project in 1994, has evolved into a permanent art institution that showcases Zagar's unique artistic vision.

Over the years, the community rallied to preserve this artistic haven, leading to the establishment of PMG as a nonprofit organization. Today, visitors can explore the enchanting mosaics, tunnels, and grottos that tell stories of Zagar's life, family, and the broader world. Guided tours and monthly mosaic workshops offer opportunities for deeper engagement with the art and its creator.

Impacting Lives Through Art

Philadelphia's Magic Gardens inspires creativity and fosters community engagement by educating the public about folk, mosaic, and visionary art. The organization is committed to preserving and interpreting Zagar's work while providing access to his public murals, enriching the cultural landscape of Philadelphia.
