"This We Believe" City-Wide Mural

The Gallery at Market East is proud to host the mural exhibition “This We Believe”.  This distinctive artwork is the result of the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program’s first city-wide mural project.

"This We Believe" began in February 2009 with a series of meetings capturing what the citizens of Philadelphia believe about their city.  Two teams of artists then translated the stories into designs that were put to a city-wide vote in May 2009.  The winning design was created by artists Kien Nguyen, Eric Okdeh and Michelle Ortiz.  Throughout the summer of 2009, over 500 residents helped paint this extraordinary work of art. 

We invite you to visit The Gallery to view the mural.  The exhibit will remain throughout November and December and is located on the Street Level at the Ninth Street entrance.  Following a closing ceremony in December, it will be divided into seven sections and distributed to permanent locations throughout the city.
