WHAT IS OPEN SOURCE?

The must-see exhibition of the year isn’t in any gallery or museum. It’s right in your own backyard. Mural Arts has joined forces with 14 trailblazing artists, from Philadelphia and all over the world, to create new public art projects that illuminate the city’s diverse urban identity. Visit opensource.muralarts.org for more information about this citywide exhibition, culminating in October 2015.
