Help paint one of the world’s largest murals this Sunday

Community Paint Day

The How Philly Moves mural project is well on its way to becoming one of the largest public art projects in the world, and you can have a hand in making it this Sunday, December 12.

No experience required, all supplies provided, fun had by all! Join photographer and designer JJ Tiziou, lead muralist Jon Laidacker and the mural team at a community paint day to help paint the How Philly Moves mural that will be installed at the Philadelphia International Airport this spring.

What: Community paint day: you are invited!

When: Sunday, 12/12/2010, 12pm – 3pm

Where: The Gallery at Market East (9th & Market) – top floor
(more info about the studio)

Help make this day even more successful as the first community paint day was.

About How Philly Moves: The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program has selected How Philly Moves as part of its new gateways initiative. This extraordinary new work of community-based public art will culminate in a dynamic and iconic new ‘postcard’ image for Philadelphia: a nearly 50,000-square-foot mural across the facade of the Philadelphia International Airport’s parking garage installing in spring 2011.

Check out the How Philly Moves website, or find out more about JJ Tiziou Photography and the Mural Arts Program.

    "Building an ensemble doesn’t really work, because it can’t be you being attracted to them, but them being attracted to the work. People with staying power are attracted to the work, the ideas. Not the other way around."
