The second article that I selected concerning my topic was found using Wikipedia. The article is based on the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network (PAGN), which is a founded by Philadelphian Mayor Wilson Goode in 1984. The network was established to hinder the spread of graffiti within Philadelphia. Two years later, The Mural Arts Project (MAP) was created within PAGN. The programs went on to receive awards due to the positive progress that they had made within the community.
Since it's establishment, the PAGN and MAP have gone on to produce over 2,400 murals within the Philadelphia area. Not only have they enriched the city with their art, but they have also gone on to clean over 40,000 of graffiti. Today, PAGN consists of three programs; Mural Arts Program, Paint Voucher Program, and the Graffiti Abatement Team.
Thanks to those who care so dearly, the city of Philadelphia is not known for it's one of a kind murals than it's unnecessary abundance of graffiti.
