Mpact Innovators Presents – Walking Tour: Color Me Back at Suburban Station
Topics: Homelessness, Public Art, 2024 Conference, Transit
Tags: Mpact Innovators
Learn about an innovative partnership between SEPTA and Mural Arts Philadelphia to bring public art to transit stations through “Color Me Back,” a same day work and pay program that provides opportunities for work to Philadelphia’s economically insecure population. Walk less than a half-mile to Suburban Station and grab lunch before visiting Mural Arts’ studio space. Hear about the Color Me Back program’s successes for community members and the transit system. Then tour the art at the station concourse itself, the first of several locations of murals in SEPTA stations produced through this program.
Meet in Lobby. Limited to first 25.
