Enter Stage Right

Enter Stage Right by artist Serena Saunders was created through a partnership with Mural Arts Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Orchestra and the Kimmel Cultural Campus. The design depicts an anatomically correct heart against a sky blue background made out of colorful ribbons which swirl from the musical notes emanating from it. On two of the larger ribbons are written the words “ENTER STAGE RIGHT” and “RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY” (hence the title), indicating that the project partners are trying to be on the right side of history by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusivity in their selections of artists, performance offerings, and educational components. Butterflies throughout the design symbolize renewal, while bubbles represent playfulness. Flowers also permeate the mural, meant to be both decorative and symbolic of the audience.

Location Note: This is an interior mural located at the Kimmel Center’s Tier 2 level on the North side of the building. It may not always be accessible for public viewing.
