MURAL ARTS PROGRAM: FRANKFEST 2010 WAS SUPER SUCCESSFUL!






Why I dressed up like Frankenstein and what exactly happened at Frankfest 2010?

Frankfest 2010 was a promotional event I produced for the City of Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program. This summer the organization unveiled a new tour product called the Mural Mile - this was one of the many events programmed to draw attention to these free downloadable audio/cell phone tours. For more information: www.muralarts.org/muralmile

Here's what happened at Frankfest 2010:

  • Guests met MAP Executive Director Jane Golden and Dave McShane, the muralist who painted the Mural at Dirty Franks
  • Acclaimed Frank Sinatra performer, Rich DeSimone, sang classic Sinatra tunes throughout the event
  • Philadelphia's most famous Frank, Ben Franklin, was on hand offering guests intriguing historical Philadelphia factoids
  • Two adorable frankfurters, Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein greeted guests, danced and smiled for photos
  • Free frankfurters - America's favorite "Frank" themed food - was served to those named Frank, Francine, Frankie, etc. and to those who dressed in a Frank themed costume
GOOD TIMES HAD BY ALL!

LISTEN UP! LISTEN UP! LISTEN UP! LISTEN UP!



I'm super excited to share with you a video project I initiated and produced for Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program (MAP). My idea was to program a Flash Mob/Random Act of Dance (RAD) with a talented and diverse group of dancers in front of one of Philadelphia's best murals and start a viral video in an effort to raise awareness for the organization and this amazing new tour product called the Mural Mile.
