A special thanks to Anna Szlavi. Anna is a Fulbright Visiting Student Researcher from Hungary who has spent most of this academic year in Philadelphia. She developed a love of the city’s Mural Arts Program and reached out to me having found this site. I had a great time meeting with Anna and discussing the murals and the impact on the communities of Philadelphia. Anna was kind enough to point me in the direction of a few murals in the West Philadelphia area that I hadn’t seen before.
