Mural Arts Changes Lives
As privileged Penn students, it can be easy to forget that the small corner of West Philadelphia that we call home is not representative of the rest of the neighborhood. Wander a bit farther west, and you'll run across many houses that are run down or otherwise neglected— an undeniably less pristine environment than what you would find near Rittenhouse. But, if you pay enough attention, you’ll notice that there is one commonality between most Philly neighborhoods, regardless of demographics: mural art.
