2025 Philly Fringe Postcards
Philly Fringe Postcards is a peer-to-peer review experiment created for the 2025 Fringe by Savannah Reich.
A cohort of up 25 participating artists each wrote a “postcard” to one other artist about their work. The postcards are not intended to be traditional reviews, but a short open letter from an artist to another artist about their show. Artists to responded to questions like, what do you want to say to that creator after seeing their work? What connections did it make in your mind? How did you feel when you walked away?
Every artist in the cohort wrote a postcard to someone and received a postcard from someone else. The goal is to share one of the juiciest parts of the Fringe; conversations between artists about their work.
