It’s an overwhelming week in the New York art world. And I guess the fashion world as well. In these circumstances, planning is crucial so that you’ll get the most out of the week. The map feature on Artcards is super useful, and it’s what we use here to navigate easily around town to see shows. This weekend though, Philly looks even more exciting with the Philadelphia Live Arts Fringe Festival happening all over the city. Founded in 1997 by experimental artists, the festival showcases a collective of over 188 shows, national and international, that include dance, sound, visual art, theater, and film. Until now, Philly Fringe has been an unfiltered festival, where new and established artists present their work free of a standardized selection process.  Program and festival details are here: http://livearts-fringe.org
