The third annual Great Stages Gala on Friday, May 30, will celebrate Governor Edward G. Rendell and Joan Myers Brown for their contributions to the arts in Philadelphia. Today we’re spotlighting Rendell’s extensive impact on Philadelphia’s arts and culture community. Rendell played a crucial role in revitalizing Center City and laid the groundwork for Philly’s cultural growth through the creation of the Kimmel Center for the Performing Arts. The Avenue of the Arts flourished under his guidance, and we are grateful for his continued support of the arts! (fb)
