Congratulations to Holly Gibbons, owner of Artist’s Attic, located at 206 Seneca Street in Oil City, for being one of eight applications approved as part of the first cycle of grant awards from the PA Creative Entrepreneur Accelerator Program. Holly worked with Amy Keth at the Clarion University Small Business Development Center (SBDC) and Patrick Fisher, Executive Director at the Erie Arts & Culture, regarding her application and business plan. Artist’s Attic will use the grant funds for start-up inventory and payroll.

The Oil City store’s hours are Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 13 to officially welcome this new business.
