ABOUT THIS EVENT
Each year, MYX: Multicultural Youth eXchange invites all Philadelphians between the ages of 9 – 24 (Philadelphia?s Youth Generation) to capture the spirit of their city and youth culture by contributing to two original, large- scale paintings.

Entitled Y PHILLY: An Identity Mural by Philadelphia?s Youth Generation, the completed murals are then presented to a pre-selected community abroad as a gift from our city.

In past years, MYX has created the Y PHILLY murals for youth communities in Incheon, Korea, Tel Aviv, Israel and Caracas, Venezuela.

This year the Y PHILLY murals will be presented to schools in Istanbul and Adana, Turkey, where Turkish students will simultaneously create their own youth identity murals for the youth of Philadelphia.

Who Should Participate?

Any student between the ages of 9-24 is invited to paint. No particular artistic skills are required – just an interest in expressing yourself on canvas with images or words. Art supplies will be provided at the MYX Gallery but feel free to bring your own
