The Mural Arts Program has chosen Manayunk as a "public arts district," where a large amount of works, which could include murals, light and sound pieces, and sculptures, will be displayed there starting this summer. One goal of the project is to utilize public art to encourage neighborhood growth.

"It will be a vehicle for economic and community development, a tool to re-brand Manayunk," says Jane Golden, founder of the Mural Arts Program. "We want to draw people into the neighborhood to see art."
