I stopped by @muralarts' Career Connected Learning Program, where Over the last six weeks, over 100 teens explored the community mural-making process while engaging with civic services and those who provide them. With interviews and research, they created a mural series that highlights the life of public service roles - lifting the voices of the unsung individuals who keep our city running. Thank you for having me!

Public art is a piece of the tapestry that makes this community so inviting. It tells the stories of our neighbors & history! I’m proud that I was able to secure funding for this project through PHARE! Thank you to @muralarts & muralist & artist Kelly Prevard for your hard work!

Last week, I joined @muralarts and @cmjyoungjr for a mural dedication of a local icon in the Philly basketball community- Paul Gripper. Paul was a coach, mentor and friend to many, and an inspiring leader.

Check it out! There are a dozen new murals at Schuylkill Yards celebrating West Philly! Honoring the community’s history and traditions through art builds pride and strengthens bonds, making these spaces more welcoming. You can visit the murals at the new pedestrian-only path at 3151 Market Street. Many thanks to @muralarts, @streetsdept, @schuylkillyards, the talented artists, and everyone who contributed to this project!

For over a year, we've been working on a massive piece of public art -- basically it is a peace garden memorial to honor the lives lost to gun violence. It incorporates shredded guns, and the garden beds will have "gun mulch" made from the wood stock of surrendered guns. It will softly light up every 12 minutes to honor another life lost to guns in America. THIS SUNDAY from 12-3 we'll be having an epic block party and dedication. Join us if you can! All the info is in the flyer here... (grateful to my pal Jacob C. Hammes and @muralarts for the partnership on this holy project!).
