+...A LoVe LeTtEr FoR YoU...+





A Love Letter For You is a concept by Overbrook native Stephen Powers and the youth of West Philadelphia.

The project is during the month of August with 40 local and international artists to paint 50 walls between 63rd and 45th street on Market Street in Philly. The theme is only words of romance, thoughts of relationships, and what love really is.




” Love Letter is literally a love letter painted on the walls facing the Market elevated train. 40 local and international artists will paint the walls in august and the letter will be on view for one and all starting as early as Labor Day.

The project will encompass 50 painted walls between 63rd and 45th street on Market Street, a documentary film with scripted elements, a sign school and shop that will provide training for area youth and free signage for businesses on the market street corridor, and 2 books documenting the project. One of the books will be a small paperback that will be distributed to area businesses free of charge, for them to sell to visitors. The other book will be a larger hardcover book that will document not only the artwork, but the neighborhood and the
inspirations of the Love Letter Project. ”
