The new digital mural was created by visual artist Nilé Livingston.
"It is a vibrant painting of the skyscrapers of Philadelphia," Livingston described. "It drips and splashes with color."
Jane Golden, executive director of Mural Arts, says it's a work in progress and they're asking for photos from people of what inspires them about Philadelphia to add to the overall image.
She said people can log on to the Mural Arts website and submit any image of something that inspires them about this city
"It could be a poem, it could be a photograph, it could be a painting, but it should be about resilience and what is inspiring," said Golden.
"People from all over will be able to go to our website, muralarts.org starting Monday through midnight on July 4, and add content, digital images," she explained.
Those images will be scanned for color and pixelated into Livingston's painting.
The final result will be a mural called "Philly Rising." (No relation to the KYW Newsradio feature.) Livingston said they went back and forth on a couple of names, but she settled on that one for a particular reason.
"I thought of 'Philly Rising' because I know in the past few months, a lot of people have had it hard in the face of the pandemic, economic challenges, calls for racial equality," she explained.
And while this might be a little too intricate to turn into a traditional mural, Golden has big ideas about how to take this project offline.
"What we'd love to do, although this will depend on funding, we would love to project it somewhere in a central location," she said.
