  • 2013 Festival Call for Proposals

    Hidden City Philadelphia announces a Call for Proposals for its summer 2013 Festival featuring site-specific works in lesser-known and inaccessible sites of historical and community interest throughout the city. Hidden City invites proposals that illuminate the past, present and future of participating sites.
