Streets Dept’s was thrilled to curate an exhibition at the 2024 Flower Show for the fourth year in a row–and for the second year with Mural Arts Philadelphia! For our 2024 project, titled Remember To Water, three 12-foot by eight-foot murals were created by three local artists: Tai Corrienté, Melissa Rothman, and Natalie Flor Negrón. Curated by curated by Streets Dept’s Conrad Benner.

Its theme inspired by the power of the collective, Remember To Water reflects on the transformative potential of unity in an individualist culture. What gardens might blossom with the proper resources? What future can we sow together today?
