Visiting Philadelphia For The International Festival of the Arts
Thursday, 04 February 2010
For three weeks, from April 7 through May 1, 2011, audiences will revel in an array of one-time, only-in-Philadelphia productions by some of the region's top talents -- many of whom will partner with or present international performers. The International Festival of the Arts will feature music, dance, fashion, fine arts, poetry, cuisine and more -- all generously flavored with the essence of Paris, circa 1910-1920.

Inspired by the Kimmel Center, PIFA promises to be an out-of-the-box arts festival that honors the vision of longtime Philadelphia resident and philanthropist Leonore Annenberg. Before she passed away in 2009, Mrs. Annenberg provided a generous grant through the Annenberg Foundation to ensure that her lifelong dream for a citywide arts celebration would be fulfilled.

"Not in memory has the city hosted so much performing and visual arts linked by a common thread and packed into a one-month festival," says Ed Cambron, executive director of PIFA. "Philly has an extraordinary collection of top-notch arts groups that are excited about smashing the traditional arts festival format and presenting something truly different. The philosophy for PIFA is collaboration, creativity and innovation, which means our audiences will see a multitude of new works, unprecedented partnerships and performances that will happen only here."
