A Love Letter For You



A must visit online. A Love Letter For You is a project by Stephen Powers with the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. Literally it is a love letter painted on the walls of buildings on Market Street in Philadelphia. The project includes a total of 50 murals, a documentary film, a sign school and shop that will provide training for area youth and free signage for businesses on the market street corridor, and 2 books documenting the project. One of the books will be a small paperback that will be distributed to area businesses free of charge, for them to sell to visitors. The other book will be a larger hardcover book that will document not only the artwork, but the neighborhood and the inspirations of the Love Letter Project. Visit all the murals here.

this is an interesting neighborhood pride project for this area. I like that it is supporting artistic endeavors as well.

Wow! I'd love to see something like this happen in Newburgh.

what a wonderful idea. Seems like there could be an awful lot of talented graffiti artists that could turn their talent else where.

This is one of the many reasons why I love living in Philadelphia.

It is magical in the most bizarre ways.
