Buttonwood Hill

Buttonwood Hill by artist Miriam Singer was a temporary mural installed as part of the annual Spring Arts outdoor exhibition in the Callowhill neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This is a wheatpasted mural made from a collage of screen printed paper. The patterns are made from drawings the artist sketched while walking in the area and taking the train. The focus was on making a design that would work with the existing wall, ephemeral and colorful. The colorful collage of printed paper appears in the shape of a cityscape.

Since 2016, Spring Arts is an annual installation of temporary and permanent artworks in collaboration with Arts + Crafts Holdings. Artists are invited annually to experiment, create, and innovate old building walls between 10th and 11th, Spring Garden and Hamilton Streets to rebrand the neighborhood. Artworks are exhibited on a revolving basis, providing a diverse range of artists with the opportunity to create engaging public art.
