The Village of Arts and Humanities
The Village of Arts and Humanities is an arts organization in North Philadelphia. The Village was founded by Lily Yeh, an artist and Chinese immigrant who was a tenured professor at the Philadelphia School of Fine Arts.[1] It has renovated dozens of urban lots and empty buildings with murals, mosaics, and gardens. In 2001 it received the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence.[2][3]
The Village has been profiled by Reader's Digest and numerous newspapers, and was the subject of a Public Broadcasting Service documentary entitled An Angel in the Village.[4][5]
