Supporting Mural Arts Philadelphia

Behind-the-scenes at the Percy Street Project and the Philadelphia Ballet's "Behind the Stage Door"

Eberlein Design employee, Lindsay Bedford, is also a Mural Arts Philadelphia Black Artist Fellow. In April, she completed not one, but two public art projects, including the installation of a temporary vinyl mural at the Percy Street Project located in South Philadelphia, and, an installation used in the Philadelphia Ballet’s free, interactive multimedia performance, Behind the Stage Door throughout the city of Philadelphia.
