| Festival Description | The Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe marked the beginning of a new era — after 17 years the contemporary arts organization has officially changed its name to FringeArts. The new name, announced in conjunction with breaking ground on a versatile permanent home on Philadelphia’s burgeoning waterfront, reflects the organization’s mission to bring the world’s newest and most cutting-edge cultural experiences to the City of Brotherly Love. “We are an institution on a mission to explore the boundaries of art, to reveal what is yet to be discovered, to present high-quality new work that compels and challenges expectation, and to support the artists who create it,” says President and Producing Director Nick Stuccio. “FringeArts defines the bold innovation that characterizes the art we pride ourselves in pursuing.” FringeArts will be permanently located across the street from Race Street Pier at the corner of Race Street and Columbus Boulevard. The 1903 historic former pumping station will be transformed into a year-round center for contemporary performing and visual arts; the 10,000-square-foot building will feature a 240-seat theater, rehearsal and creation studio, permanent festival hub, outdoor events plaza, restaurant/bar and administrative offices. Programming under the new FringeArts banner will expand to include not only the annual 16-day Festival but also a year-round series of high-quality contemporary dance, theater and music performances both local and international; commissioned public art installations; and a residency program that continues to expand and grow as a state-of-the-art incubator for artists. |
