Thank You Mural Arts Philadelphia, Thank You Jane, & Take Care on your next journey.
We wanted to share a short video of photographs arranged to music in appreciation for Mural Arts Philadelphia and the Tacony LAB Community Arts Center throughout the years — including our Autistic Founder Colleen’s time serving with City Year as part of the Founding Corps of 1997–1998.

Mrs. @colleen.r.ott might be off on this day, but she made her way to @bwwings #310 restaurant. They were nominated for our award after a family with two autistic children had dinner at this restaurant a few months ago maybe two who wanted to nominate this store/restaurant because of the most positive experience that they had with their server who went above and beyond for their family and understood Autism. Period.
Congratulations to @mrynot_phillyelmo and @pmedrumline for winning the Neuroinclusion & Neurodiversity Award from the Autistic Art Coalition of Philadelphia (AACOP). We are very proud to be membership partners with such outstanding folks! 👏👏👏
