Updated at the end of the week!

Center City District Gallery Night
Big Citypaper/Phillyfunguide one-time, non-First Friday gallery event. This is as good an opportunity as it gets to actually set an agenda and see the inside of at least fifteen rooms you haven’t before. Participating galleries and map are here, and yes, for some reason unknown reason, it’s a PDF. My unofficial guide to this event is coming later this week. 5-8:30pm.
