Philly's Oldest Alternative Art Space Is Selling Its Building

"'We are going to switch from being building-based to being project-based,' [Painted Bride] executive director Laurel Raczka said Monday. ... The organization is not having any particularly stressful financial problems at this time, Raczka said. Rather, the decision to free itself from the building is driven by a desire to serve the city's younger artists and audiences in a way that makes sense."
