If we were to make a Mount Rushmore of artists who’ve changed Philadelphia, today’s guest would likely be at the top of most people’s list: Meg Saligman.

Meg is a self-described champion of humans. She’s an artist and muralist who has produced over 40 permanent public artworks worldwide, including some of the world’s largest public murals. And she’s also now the president and artistic visionary behind the Ministry of Awe in Old City, Philadelphia. It’s a five-story temple to curiosity created with 100 fellow artists, a project that will surely continue to cement her legendary status.
