We are accepting applications for a free sign school that will teach the basics of sign making, in an intensive one-month course that will create new, free signage for businesses along the Market Street corridor. Three classes will be offered with up to ten spots available, for young adults 18+. Classes start soon. Email kevin.brown@muralarts.org for more info.
Adults 18+ that have experience in exterior surface painting are invited to apply for jobs to assist with this project. Email naila.mattison-jones@muralarts.org for more info.
Love Letter is a project by Stephen Powers with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, and is sponsored by the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage through the Philadelphia Exhibitions Initiative. Generous support is also provided by Brownstein Group and SEPTA.
