Joined by artist Carlos “CALO” Lopez Rosa and residents of two North Philadelphia communities, Mural Arts and the Water Department partnered to bring public art to areas where buying bottled water is most common.
And save the date: On Tuesday, Oct. 5, at 4 p.m., you’re invited to attend the official unveiling of the sister Drink More Tap mural at Cruz Recreation Center, 1431 N 6th St.
The murals have a simple theme: drink tap
These murals are part of our ongoing Drink More Tap outreach campaign, bridging visual and performing arts with facts about the benefits of drinking Philly tap: it’s healthy, sustainable, and affordable.
