On November 21, 2015 Philadelphia Water and the City of Philadelphia Mural Arts Program hosted a community paint day for a mural that will be installed at 55th and Hunter streets in the Hestonville section of Philadelphia. Volunteers from the neighborhood joined Mural Arts and PWD staff to paint sections of the mural that will be installed in spring 2016. Artists Eurhi Jones and Michael Reali were there to coordinate the painting of their mural, titled “Your Hands Shimmering on the Legs of Rain.” Part of PWD’s Philly Water Art program, the mural will overlook and highlight a Green City, Clean Waters project that will bring a rain garden and storage trench to a vacant lot. The mural was also designed with input from the neighbors who requested that art be included in the project.
