The Oval+ 2019

For the third year in a row, Fairmount Park Conservancy and Philadelphia Parks & Recreation have retained Philadelphia-based PORT Urbanism to develop the overall plan and installations for The Oval+. PORT collaborated with Mural Arts Philadelphia on the graphic elements of the plan, including a series of bright, playful sculptures by the artist NDA that encourage passersby to engage with the objects in a personalized way and a ground mural by Mural Arts Philadelphia artist Felix St. Fort titled “Vector 2” that was inspired by sculpture. The double-decker bus has been retrofitted by the architectural design firm FK.
