October is Mural Arts Month, with 31 days of art activities and celebrations, as told by the Los Angeles Times.
Art is in the air in October as
Philadelphia
celebrates many of its more than
3,500 murals
during Mural Arts Month.
What began in 1984 as part of the Philadelphia Anti-Graffiti Network has blossomed into the
Philadelphia Mural Arts Program
. Muralist and founder Jane Golden redirected the energy and creativity of graffiti artists from marring neighborhood walls into murals, and the program now gives birth to about 150 murals a year.
Highlights of "31 Days, 31 Ways: Art Ignites Change" include mural dedications, outdoor celebrations and free tours.
