Hidden City Philadelphia is now inviting proposals for the 2013 Festival scheduled May 23 – June 30, 2013.

The Hidden City Philadelphia Festival celebrates the power of place through the imagination of contemporary artists. The festival creates an avenue for the public to visit lesser-known and inaccessible sites of historical and community interest throughout the city. Artists of diverse disciplines and media, as well as from architecture and design disciplines, are welcomed to submit proposals for site-specific work that illuminates the memories (and possible futures) of these places.

Building upon the success of the 2009 Hidden City festival, which featured art installations and performances in obscured or inaccessible heritage sites, the next Hidden City Festival will encompass roughly twelve heritage sites that will be open to the public for six weeks. We’re anticipating up to 40,000 visitors to our next Festival and another extraordinary roster of participating artists.
