We are 1-year early…but we love a celebration! Join us as we celebrate PIFA 2018 with a week of free events to unite and inspire the entire community through interactive experiences, a star-studded public arts panel discussion, and a spirit of community.
Build the People's Tower!
Brought to Dilworth Park by iternationally renowned French visual artist Olivier Grossetete in partnership with Kimmel Center, hundreds of Philadelphians will construct The People's Tower -- a huge edifice without any cement or bricks! 1,400 carboard boxes and 18 miles of masking tape will rise into an 88 foot monumental-community-performance-architectural structure evocative of Independence Hall.
Join us to help build the fantastical, epic, temporary The People's Tower!
Building the Tower can last anywhere between 5 to 8 hours. Rain or shine! Feel free to stop by anytime to help build the structure, or come see it completed until its ceremonial demolition Sunday, June 4th at 7PM!
This event is FREE and for ALL AGES!
See below for the full schedule of events:
On May 30 - June 2, join us as we assemble The People's Tower building blocks!
