The North Philadelphia Beacon Project

Created as part of the three year Porch Light Initiative in collaboration with Sobriety Through Out-Patient (S.T.O.P.), the mural The North Philadelphia Beacon Project reflects the creativity and effort of hundreds of community members, S.T.O.P. staff and service recipients, volunteers, and artist James Burns.

The mural was created and installed at Broad and Lehigh, in the heart of North Philadelphia. Visible on the north and south facing walls at the northeast corner, the mural exists as a reminder of the value of each day, and reminds us that we are a community of individuals, each with a voice and power.
