Take an hour-long walk into alleyways along South and Bainbridge Streets to view the glittering creations of Isaiah Zagar! Led by a Philadelphia's Magic Gardens interpreter, you'll learn detailed information about Zagar's technique, and hear the personal and community stories depicted in his large, shimmering murals.

Starting this Saturday, PMG invites you to weekend walking tours of Isaiah Zagar's neighborhood mosaics! Tours will occur on Saturdays at noon and 4 p.m. and Sundays at 4 p.m through mid-September. Join us for one of these special tours where you'll visit rarely seen mosaics in the neighborhood and hear the stories that helped create them. During the tours, we'll explore a myriad of murals along South and Bainbridge Streets between the 4th and 10th blocks. Tours will discuss the materials, techniques, imagery, and stories of these artworks, while incorporating pieces of local Philadelphia history.

Interested participants are urged to book in advance since tours will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Walk-up tour admission will be accepted but space is limited to 20 people per tour. To book a tour or for other inquiries, contact Ellen Owens, PMG Education and Outreach Coordinator, at 215.733.0390.
