Philadelphia Mural Arts Program

The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program has produced over 3,000 works of art in the past 25 years. The cool part is that they've built a dope website that allows you to view all the murals, take a tour, learn the history, hear from artists and residents...all without even having to travel to Philly.

Check out a couple of our favorites:



These photos are just a few of the many from Steve Powers' Love Letter. Love Letter is composed of a series of 50 rooftop murals from 45th to 63rd Streets along the Market Street corridor. The murals collectively express a love letter from a guy to a girl, from an artist to his hometown, and from local residents to their neighborhood of West Philadelphia. The murals are best viewed from the Market/Frankford El.

Since H.A.S.MAGAZINE is a green company, we really liked the creativity behind painting murals on the city's recycling trucks to bring attention to the importance of recycling!
