Overview

3 Murals - Summer 2010.  Ambitious goals, but here's what we want to do:

  • Recreate Bridge Mural: Work with local youth to redesign and paint over the existing mural which was painted in 2005 and has since been heavily damaged with graffiti.
  • Repair Garden Mural: Repair and reinstall a mural painted in 2008 by Ayuda in collaboration with Hunting Park Community Garden that suffered wind damage this past winter.
  • Create "Joy in the City" Mural: Create a new mosaic mural on a public exterior wall in collaboration with a local church using original tiles created by our neighbors depicting images of joy.

Here in Hunting Park, our neighbors are used to disappointment.  Every day, we see the decay that threatens our environment and our spirits.  Together we are continually asking how we can collaborate to see change. 
Together, we can refresh our community in N. Philly!
