Draft:Pageant: Soloveev

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Pageant: Soloveev is an artist-run space and performance venue in South Philadelphia . It is located at 607 Bainbridge Street, Philadelphia, PA.[1] It was founded in 2003, undertook a three-year renovation in 2016, and reopened in 2019 to continue hosting performances and exhibitions.[2] The venue has hosted a mix of live musical performances and contemporary art displays from primarily local artists.

Since the 2016 renovation, Pageant: Soloveev now has multiple performance spaces in the building equipped with sound and projection systems used for multimedia presentations and performances. The renovation focused on reusing and repurposing materials as well as creating a sustainable hot water system to complete an energy-reduced reconstruction of the space.[2]
