Our not-so-distant cousin Philadelphia was recently recognized by USA TODAY as the “Mural Capital of the World” and the nation’s best city for street art. 🎉 Congrats to Mural Arts Philadelphia! If we look deeper at the numbers, Philly boasts 4,000 murals for a citywide population of 1.5 million people; Atlantic City is proudly home to 102 murals (and counting!), for a population of approximately 40,000 full-time residents. This means while 🔷 Philly is 40x larger than 🔹 Atlantic City, both cities maintain the same number of “murals per capita” given their population size—cause for civic pride and enthusiasm behind our local efforts at the Atlantic City Arts Foundation. 🤩 📰 Read more about the rapid pace of Atlantic City's public art expansion and its impact on tourism, culture, and the community on our blog: https://atlanticcityartsfoundation.org/blog/atlantic-citys-mural-scene-is-on-the-riseper-capita-keeping-pace-with-mural-capital-philadelphia (fb)
