It is the home stretch for "Fly City" and the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts (PIFA). "Fly City" started to sell out all of its time slots each day - so more classes have been added! As a final promotional push, we organized a massive publicity blitz on electronic media, radio, television and newspaper. Our goal was promote PIFA, "Fly City," and the two presenting groups (Philadelphia School of Circus Arts and Fly School Circus Arts), but also create elevated interest in the Philadelphia region's circus arts activities. Check out the great pieces below, including video of private media lessons by WMMR, Daily News and KYW 1060.
