Mural Dedication: Charles Burwell

Last year, we brought you the Spring Arts District, Mural Arts’ first rotating outdoor gallery—a collaboration with Arts + Crafts Holdings in the post-industrial Callowhill neighborhood.

Join us on Thursday, April 27 as we dedicate the gallery’s first permanent mural, created by Philadelphia artist Charles Burwell with Art Education students from Northeast High School and Kensington High School for the Creative and Performing Arts. Burwell, an internationally known abstract painter, and on-site teaching artists Brad Carney and Jamee Grigsby, have been working with these young artists-in-training how to create templates for replicating large-scale geometric shapes with mechanical accuracy.
