Philadelphia's Colorful Recycling Trucks

So, lately I've been noticing a few colorful garage trucks around Philadelphia. Except, they weren't garage trucks, but instead, they were recycling trucks! On each truck, it says in a corner: "Mural Arts Program." So, I decided to look it up! Apparently the trucks decorations were designed by young people in the Mural Arts Program in 2009 with the help of Desiree Bender, a graduate student from Moore College of Art. The design on the trucks are flowers, leaves, plants, and anything nature related.

Here are a sample of how they look like:

  1. Yes, I like the idea of a traveling mural and have also noticed some of the food trucks that have received artwork as part of the Mural Arts program - very cool!
