About the Project 

In summer 2015, the ABCs began popping up throughout Philadelphia when British street artist Ben Eine came to town. In partnership with Mural Arts’ Southeast by Southeast storefront in South Philly, Eine and his assistant Ryan Robles spraypainted stylized letters on previously gray and empty storefront shutters, bringing fresh eye candy and buoyant color to the neighborhood.
