Description:

Artisan was started in 2011 when the street urchin turned adult, Jason Angst bought an abandoned structure on Penn Ave that needed a whole lot of love and attention. Over the subsequent years and even still today, him and amazing group of friends built and are building what is now Artisan.

First it was a tattoo shop and art gallery, but the initial collective dreamed of more. It was a big building; they wanted a coffee shop, maybe a store. They wanted Artisan to be a collective of artists and businesses; a space to bring people together in the community.

Tyler Bryan opened the Artisan Cafe in May of 2016 on the first floor of the building. The cafe served the collective and the community for almost four years. Eventually closing it’s doors February of 2020.
