Philadelphia has more public murals than any city in the country. Now you can help add one more.<\/p>\n
During Philly Tech Week<\/a>, Mural Arts Philadelphia and local artist Sean Martorana are hosting interactive community paint sessions inside the Technical.ly Builders Conference. The work in progress: a new mural destined for a prominent wall in Old City, whose location will be announced that week.<\/p>\n The mural is inspired by Technical.ly\u2019s 250-year vision for Philadelphia<\/a>, a project imagining what the city should look like in 2276. Among its most urgent themes: Honor no tool before the people it serves. Martorana is incorporating products from generations of inventors while symbolizing the people who make our creations possible.<\/p>\n No painting experience necessary. Aprons and gloves provided.<\/p>\n Details:<\/p>\n Friday, May 8 (Second day of the Technical.ly Builders Conference<\/a>)<\/p>\n Lunch: 12\u20131:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Painting session: 1:30\u20133:30 p.m.<\/p>\n Cost: Free for painting-only attendees; included for Builders Conference<\/a> ticket holders<\/p>\n CYTO PHL, inside the Cira Centre, across from 30th Street Station<\/p>\n Only 50 free painting-only spots are available, and we expect this to fill quickly.<\/p>\n Martorana has been a longtime agitator for injecting arts into Philadelphia\u2019s tech and entrepreneurship circles, from styling otherwise drab tech offices,<\/a> contributing to Old City\u2019s N3rd Street identity<\/a> and the arts inside Indy Hall<\/a>, the coworking community.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Philadelphia has more public murals than any city in the country.
