No, you're not in New York or California — you're in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, a tiny yet vibrant hidden gem art hub.
Home to around 4,500 residents, Sellersville packs a historic theater, a boutique hotel, a fine dining restaurant, an annual arts festival, and fun shops into just over one square mile.
Sellersville's best-known native is Impressionist painter Walter Emerson Baum, who lived from 1884 to 1956 and helped establish various art institutions and museums north in Allentown, an artsy Pennsylvania city with world-class bites.
Before becoming a destination for the arts, settler Samuel Sellers established Sellers' Tavern along the busy Bethlehem Pike stagecoach route in the 1700s.
The festival also shines a light on the next generation of creatives with an award for young aspiring artists.
