Arcadia Public Art Project Launches Phase 2 of the Glenside Mural
Student apprentices, working under muralist David Guinn, will implement a second mural at the Glenside Septa station.
Returning Philadelphia muralist, David Guinn, will be leading a new group of Arcadia students to paint Phase Two of the Arcadia Public Art Project. The new mural will also be under the SEPTA train underpass, directly across from its’ sister mural “Bits’ N’ Pieces” painted in the Spring of 2017. The new and returning students will be holding community forums, conducting interviews, doing research, and fundraising before bringing Phase Two to life in April. The students in the mural apprenticeship program will be collaborating on a design with the community, in efforts to unite Glenside and the surrounding communities.
The Kickstarter gives people the opportunity to donate to the project, and the donations will be used in order to implement the LED lights. Every donation secures the donor with a piece of merchandise, including a sticker, water bottle, tote bag, and t-shirt, all available at different price points. The merchandise will be given out after the Kickstarter closes. In order to implement the lights, $7,500 must be raised. This is a community effort to achieve the lighting, so everyone should consider donating what they can. The lights cannot be achieved without the support of the whole community!
Donations can be made on Kickstarter through May 7. Donate today to make your mark in Glenside.
