At Home in Sharswood

Description of

Project

We worked with Live and Learn to design and fabricate an interior mural on 2000 Ridge Avenue, a new affordable housing apartment building in the Sharswood neighborhood of Philadelphia. 

 We were challenged to create an “I SPY” mural for the community kitchen space on the ground floor of the building to engage people of all ages in a fun game of searching the graphic map of the neighborhood for Philly faves like eagles, soft pretzels, water ice, and more. 

It was an honor to work with Lower North Philadelphia Community Development Corporation, Brewerytown Sharswood Community Civic Association, and Brewerytown Sharswood Neighborhood Coalition on this design and the team of partners: Watchdog, PLLAN, MGD, WRT, Pennrose
