Aloveletterforyou















One of the coolest tours I went on during my recent weekend trip to Philadelphia.



A letter for one with meaning for all

The City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program and Philadelphia native, New York-based artist Stephen Powers, have collaborated to create, Love Letter, a public art project consisting of a series of 50 rooftop murals from 45th to 63rd streets along the Market Street corridor. The murals, which are best viewed from the market-Frankford elevated transit line, collectively express a love letter from a guy to a girl, from an artist to his hometown, and from local residents to their West Philadelphia neighborhood. Love Letter, which will be documented in two books, a film and a gallery exhibition, speakers to all those who have loved and for those who long for a way to express that love to the world around them.
