Investors see ANOTHER return from Masterworks (!!!!)
That’s 6 sales in 7 months. 29 all time. And the performance?
16.5%, 17.6%, and 17.8%, net annualized returns on sold works held longer than one year (See all 29 at Masterworks.com)
It’s not from stocks, private equity, or real estate… it’s from contemporary and post war art. Crazy, right?
With Masterworks, you don’t need to be a BILLIONAIRE to invest in multi-million dollar art anymore.
Historically, the segment overall has had attractive appreciation and low correlation to stocks.*
Masterworks targets works featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso, identifying what they believe to have significant long-term appreciation potential, not just at the artist level but at the level of individual artworks.
As one of the largest players in the art market, with $1.3 billion invested over 500 artworks, they pass critical advantages through to their 70,000+ members to add art to their portfolios strategically.

Pottstown Gears Up for Independence Day Celebration with Parade, Festival & Fireworks
Pottstown is preparing for a full day of patriotic festivities on Friday, July 4, as the community celebrates both Independence Day and the nation's 250th anniversary.
The celebration begins with the Pottstown Rotary Parade through downtown before continuing at the Pottstown GoFourth Festival, where visitors can enjoy an afternoon and evening filled with family-friendly activities.
Festival highlights include tethered hot air balloon rides, food trucks, local vendors, live entertainment, Rally Alley, a Kids Zone, and a variety of attractions for all ages. The celebration will conclude with the annual fireworks display.

Learn About Pennsylvania Reptiles During Live Animal Program at Pottstown Library
The Pottstown Regional Public Library is inviting families to get up close with some of Pennsylvania's native reptiles during a special educational program presented by Indian Run Environmental Education Center.
Environmental educator Dawn White will introduce guests to live native turtles and snakes while explaining their habitats, unique survival adaptations, and the important role they play in local ecosystems.
Participants will also have the opportunity to examine turtle shells and snake sheds, interact with the animals under supervision, and learn about the challenges reptiles face in the wild and ways people can help protect them.
Based in Glenmoore, Chester County, the Indian Run Environmental Education Center offers traveling wildlife education programs featuring live birds of prey and reptiles to promote environmental stewardship throughout Pennsylvania.

Road Milling and Paving Project to Begin
June 30 in Lower Pottsgrove Township
Lower Pottsgrove Township will begin a road improvement project on Tuesday, June 30, with milling scheduled to continue throughout the week on several township roads.
The project includes:
S. Sanatoga Road
Lynn Drive
Wendy Drive
Kenny Road
Brookside Road
Paving is scheduled to begin the following week, starting Monday, July 6, weather permitting.
Residents living along the affected roadways have been notified by mail. Township officials are asking residents to remove all vehicles and curbside items, including portable basketball hoops and other accessories, from the street to allow construction crews to work safely and efficiently.
Officials also remind residents to stay clear of construction equipment, even when it is parked, and to follow all posted traffic signs, detours, and work zone instructions. Motorists should expect occasional delays as work progresses.
The construction schedule is subject to change depending on weather conditions.
