Here is a recap of the “OUR MARKET, OUR STORIES” celebration of community and resilience in the 9th Street Market. Presented by the Our Market Project, this event was part of Mural Arts Month showcasing the vibrant public art project created and led by local artist Michelle Angela Ortiz’s Fiera Studios in partnership with Mural Arts Philadelphia. 

Held on Saturday, October 26, 2024, the event featured new murals, new lightboxes, and the launch of the interactive tour app created through Our Market, along with participation from vendors and performances that highlight the ongoing work and culture of the market.

The event was held at the Piazza DiBruno on 9th and Montrose Street.

Attendees enjoyed food from local vendors in the Market, performances, and a video screening capturing the growth of the project and the people behind it.
