PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia, a city known for its many elaborate and culturally significant murals, is among 20 cities nominated for Best City for Street Art in 2025 by USA Today's 10Best Readers' Choice.
You can help Philadelphia win the award by voting once a day until polls close on Feb. 17. The winning city will be announced on Feb. 26.
The backstory:
The nomination is largely owed to Mural Arts Philadelphia, the nation's largest public art program. Since its inception in the 1980, Mural Arts has produced over 4,000 murals across the city, many of which are still on display.
"This is an incredible opportunity to showcase the impact of Mural Arts and Philadelphia’s dynamic street art scene on a national stage," Senior Director of Communications and Brand Management at Mural Arts Philadelphia Chad Eric Smith said.
Their latest project, the Love Letter project, is a series of 50 rooftop murals that can be seen from the Market-Frankford elevated line.
"Let’s be competitive, rally together, and ensure that Philadelphia is recognized as the country’s premier city for street art because, let’s be real—no city does it better," Smith said.
