From Paint to Print!

The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program recently wrapped-up My North Philly , a 3-year project exploring the stories of residents in four North Philadelphia neighborhoods. Through interviews and photographs the Mural Arts team created seven amazing new murals, adding to the over 2,700 murals already done by Mural Arts in Philadelphia.

As part of the My North Philly project culmination Design for Social Impact worked with the Mural Arts team of ethnographers, artists, photographers and project managers to design a book that would celebrate the vibrant voices and compelling lives of those who call North Philly home.

The 140-page book, titled "My North Philly: Neighborhoods. Murals. Stories." is a woven tapestry of personal interviews, photographs and murals that capture the essence of this unique area of Philadelphia.

This book is not to be missed. Purchase your copy at www.muralarts.org/shop/
