Franklin ArtWorks
1021 Franklin Avenue East
Franklin ArtWorks, a multipurpose art space that houses a gallery and flexible theater seating for dance, music, readings and film, is the result of the renovation of a 1916 silent movie house originally named the New Franklin Theatre. This newly discovered jewel along East Franklin was unearthed primarily with the financial support of the Phillips neighborhood using Neighborhood Revitalization Program funding.
