PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Empty spaces are transforming into vibrant showcases in one Philadelphia neighborhood.

Thanks to a new initiative called 'Art on Ridge,' local artists are getting a chance to showcase their work in Roxborough.

Now, anyone strolling along the 6100 block of Ridge Avenue will find a pop-up gallery.

Once empty, the venue is now a temporary home to almost two dozen local artists in need of a brick-and-mortar to sell everything from fine art to jewelry and pottery.

The event runs through the first week of December and is open Thursdays through Sundays.

Action News' Christie Ileto has more about 'Art on Ridge' in the video above.
