Barnstone Art for Kids is proud to present our 2024 featured artwork - “Nailer’s Row” is a fabulously dynamic masterwork by renown local artist, Neil Dreibelbis. Neil is a lifelong creative whose work is collected across the country. Neil’s work and his creative process is informed by his own journey, travels, and adventures. Nailer’s Row is a reference to Phoenixville’s tiny historic block of houses built by the Phoenix Iron Company for its workers who made…you guessed it, nails. We are proud to offer this work that highlights our wonderful town’s history. We are also so grateful to our friend Neil, whose work and life we celebrate with gratitude and love.
