How A City Speaks...

Obviously art has been of interest to me from a young age, but being at Moore lifts that interest to a whole new level. Although Moore itself is quite influential for many artists, the city of Philadelphia also plays a huge role in sharing the gift of artistic freedom.

Throughout the city, one can find displays of artistic expression almost everywhere. Whether it be historical art displaying our city's representation of freedom or a touching piece signifying unity amongst a diverse group of cultures, we find ourselves surrounded by voices of those attempting to share their voice with the community.

I have chosen to write about the displays of art within our city. With accompanying photos, I will do my best to show some of my favorite pieces of artistic expression here in Philadelphia. The following are just a few examples of what I will be blogging about:
This is a photograph of a mural that I get the pleasure of seeing almost every single morning. Located at the corner of 20th and Arch, this particular work of art adds a touch of creativity to an otherwise bland looking building.

I, personally, think that this mural attempts to show the possibility of growth within the city through it's youth.

Due to it's somewhat hidden location, this mural is can be easily missed unless you visit the Art Museum area. Applied to the side of what looks to be an apartment, this extremely colorful mural seems to come out of nowhere. It is located almost directly behind the Central location of the Free Library of Philadelphia.
