On this episode of Running Times, Gagz welcomes
Craig Oppenheimer, founder of Mural Miles, and acclaimed
Philadelphia muralist, Eric Okdeh, into the studio.
Mural Miles is a social and educational club that
runs miles to murals in Philadelphia - a city with over 4,000
murals and more public art than any other in the world. Craig's
group learns about art while on the move and builds community
through runs that are catered to all fitness levels. Just wait
until you hear what's next for this club!
Eric is a lead muralist with Philadelphia Mural
Arts Program and has over 150 public art commissions throughout the
Northeast United States, as well as murals in Hawaii, Spain,
Jordan, and Norway. Eric has seen his projects provide a sense of
inclusion and accomplishment amongst its participants that in turn
empower entire communities. It's little wonder that institutions,
city governments, and organizations around the country have hired
Eric to consult on projects in their cities.
