WEST PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Mural Arts month begins in Philadelphia with the announcement of a new mural to be painted in West Philadelphia to celebrate the anniversary of Bryn Mawr College.

To celebrate the 125th anniversary of Bryn Mawr College, the school is partnering with the Mural Arts program to create a mural in West Philadelphia highlighting advances in the education of women.
