Philadelphia Mural Arts Tourgives us a glimpse into the world of local Philadelphia artists, many of whom are amateur and not formally trained, and some of whom were former graffiti artists who have turned their once destructive work into meaningful and celebrated art.
Filled with anecdotes and stories the Mural Arts Tour will leave you with a deeper appreciation for the complexities of mural making, and more important, with "a renewed faith that art still has the power to transform lives."
