Heart of Kensington Creates: Artist Q&A for RFP

There will be a virtual artist Q&A for those interested in applying for the Heart of Kensington Creates Gusset Plate project on December 17 from 5 pm – 6 pm.

Color Me Back, Mural Arts’ same-day work-and-pay program, will lead the charge on a community-wide painting project called the Gusset Plate Project. Named after the “gusset plates”, triangular-shaped support structures below the “El” train, which incorporates a modular painting method to make highly collaborative art. The plan is to have each triangle-shaped section painted by one or more Kensington community members, leaving their own unique mark along the SEPTA line from Huntingdon to Tioga, adding up to hundreds of works of community-made art.
