Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site seeks proposals for its 2011 tour season and beyond. Eastern State Penitentiary Historic Site was once the most famous and expensive prison in the world, but stands today in ruin, a haunting world of crumbling cellblocks and empty guard towers. Known for its grand architecture and strict discipline, this was the world’s first true “penitentiary,” a prison designed to inspire penitence, or true regret, in the hearts of convicts.
It is recommended that artists begin the proposal process by attending an art orientation tour. These tours give the artists a chance to walk through the space, discuss what makes a successful proposal, ask questions, and observe visitors interacting with the current artist installations. Full details are available on the website at http://www.easternstate.org/exhibits/guidelines.php.
