About this Event
Join Mural Arts Philadelphia and Pennsylvania Housing Affordability and Rehabilitation Enhancement (PHARE) to dedicate a new mural by Cesar Viveros at Mary Field Senior Apartments. Enjoy food, music, and community, as well as a poetry collection written by residents throughout the design process!
Inspired by a garden that serves as a sanctuary for residents of HumanGood’s four-building campus in Kingsessing, this six-story mural transforms the side of the senior center with natural imagery and portraits of Mary Field residents. Residents from across the campus helped shape the project through a community-wide paint day and series of poetry workshops led by poet and spoken word artist Ursula Rucker.
