Question

Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of Independence was
signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States. But one fact about
Philadelphia is not so well-known: it is home to nearly 3,000 murals painted on the sides of
homes and buildings around the city. In fact, it is said that Philadelphia has more murals than
any other city in the world, with the exception of Rome. How did this come to be?
More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing
troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. From this small
project, something magical happened. The young people involved helped to create magnificent
pieces of art, but there were other, perhaps more important benefits. The young people
learned to collaborate and get along with many different kinds of people during the various
steps required to paint and design a mural. They learned to be responsible, because they
needed to follow a schedule to make sure the murals were completed. They also learned to
take pride in their community. It is hard for any resident to see the spectacular designs and not
feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.
Take a walk around some of the poorest neighborhoods in Philadelphia, neighborhoods full of
broken windows and littered front steps, and you will find beautiful works of art on the sides
and fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor neighborhoods, but more
affluent ones as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various
murals, which range from huge portraits of historical heroes, to cityscapes, to scenes depicting
the diverse ethnic groups that call Philadelphia home.
As a result of its success, the mural program created by Jane Golden has now become the
nation's largest public art program and a model for other cities throughout the country seeking
to help troubled youth.
