Mural Arts’ Philly Rising
Show us the spirit of Philadelphia. Submit your photos to be part of this virtual mural.
Philadelphia is a city of underdogs. We are resilient and tenacious. We are built on grit and mutual support. In the face of adversity, we rise to the occasion. Within the last few months, a global pandemic and calls for racial justice catalyzed our community to uplift each other.
Show us the spirit of Philadelphia. Submit your photos that represent the spirit of Philadelphia to be included in this virtual mural now through July 4 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Youâll see your images populate within the mural on this page, and featured throughout the virtual festival.
Just as each Philadelphian plays a pivotal role in the fabric of our community, each image will be woven into this collective piece that represents the resilient spirit of our city. Together, Philly rises.
