The Seasons of Imagination mural series by Marian Bailey is a collaboration between Mural Arts and the youth, families, teachers, and staff of Joseph Pennell School, designed to increase literacy skills through playful learning, highlight school pride, create a sense of community, and showcase the expansiveness of imagination.

This mural series is part of a larger schoolyard revitalization project with SALT Design Studio.

This series consists of five murals, each with their own significance, tied together by Playful Learning Schoolyard’s 6C learning goals for children: communication, collaboration, creative innovation, critical thinking, and confidence building. The Pennell School is located in the Belfield neighborhood.

FUNDERS: William Penn Foundation, The Fund for the School District of Philadelphia, City of Philadelphia
