Crane Arts Building

On May 17th, we took a walk from the school down American Street to the Crane Arts Building. We met David Gleason, one of the building’s developers.

We talked about the Kensington Bible Riots of 1844, when Nativists and Irish Catholics clashed in a former covered market in front of where the Crane Building now stands. We visited the Nexus Gallery and saw the 2010 UPenn MFA show in the Ice Box.

Here are some photos by Yerelis Feliciano, and part of an interview with David Gleason, filmed by Luis Rivera and conducted by Maria Guarana.
