This year the Mural Arts Program partnered with master muralist Meg Saligman, the School District of Philadelphia, Philabundance, and the Writers Matter Program at La Salle University on a project that has empowered youth participants through writing and visual expression, growing a collective voice on the topic of hunger.
Below are the credits for the mural. Hope you can join us for the dedication on July 14.
