Mural Arts Philadelphia And The Philadelphia Orchestra And Kimmel Cultural Campus Announce Dedication Of New Mural By Serena Saunders
The design depicts an anatomically correct heart against a sky blue background made of colorful ribbons that swirl from its musical notes. On two of the larger ribbons are written the words “ENTER STAGE RIGHT” and “RIGHT SIDE OF HISTORY” (hence the title), indicating that the project partners are trying to be on the right side of history by promoting diversity, equity, and inclusivity in their selections of artists, performance offerings, and educational components. Butterflies throughout the design symbolize renewal, while bubbles represent playfulness. Flowers will also permeate the mural, meant to be both decorative and symbolic of the audience.
