FOX 29's Kelly Rule has the story. PHILADELPHIA - Spaces around Philadelphia that once lay empty amid the coronavirus pandemic now have a pop of color and a message of hope thanks to a city-wide art project.
It has taken just two weeks for the program known as "Cover the walls with hope" to spread its message across Philadelphia. In a time of separation, volunteer artists from across the country have submitted their work in an effort to spread a message of unity. "We were seeing so much emptiness, empty schools, empty businesses, empty playgrounds and that has a psychological and emotional impact on all of us," Mark Strandquist said.
