Hidden City unveiled-Festival starts May 30

Continuing a recent tradition in Philadelphia arts, Hidden City, the month-long arts festival, will open up nine historically-significant yet underappreciated buildings this June for use as backdrops for performance and visual arts.  (Eastern State Penitentiary, a ruin once on the brink of extinction,  is the first such endangered and underused building we remember housing art projects–for the very successful Prison Sentences exhibit in 1995)
