PCCD West Mill Creek: Past, Present, Future Mural Dedication

Join the excitement as we unveil a vibrant new mural designed by the talented youth of the West Mill Creek Rec Center summer camp under the artistic guidance of renowned muralist Priscilla Bell-Lamberty. This inspiring work of art, titled West Mill Creek: Past, Present, Future, now graces the front of the Rec Center, symbolizing the power of collaboration, imagination, and community spirit. Enjoy the dedication ceremony, meet the artist and youth designers, and celebrate this bold new addition to our neighborhood.

This project is part of Mural Arts’ Education Department’s six-part collaboration with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation to work with rec center youth and create new murals across the city. Students partake in a multi-week art education program that teaches them foundational art-making skills, fosters creative expression, and builds self-confidence. The program culminates in a mural designed and painted at each center by the youth in collaboration with their instructors and the Mural Arts Rec Crew. The Mural Arts Rec Crew is a group of Guild graduates who work at rec centers around the city, revitalizing community spaces and assisting with mural installations.
