Philly’s art scene isn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet for emerging artists, but Blah Blah Gallery is doing it anyway — probably with a funky, hand-painted rug instead. Don’t let the name fool you: Helmed by Megan Galardi, the Italian Market space is championing women and non-binary artists who bring both skill and substance, without the pretension.
