A star-studded celebration was opening a new hotel on Friday night at the Philadelphia International Airport. The opening also benefits the Philadelphia Mural Arts program.  

Nina Timani, director of sales and marketing for the new ALOFT hotel opening at Philadelphia International Airport, says ALOFT is known for its high tech rooms, self-serve, and speciality foods. But Timani says ALOFT is also known for reaching out to the artist community in each city.

She remembered seeing the murals of Philadelphia in a film and asked the Mural Arts program for prints:

"So I'm getting 25 of their paintings, which I'm going to put on my special wall, and all proceeds will go to Mural Arts."

Jennifer McCleary of Mural Arts says there are prints of some famous murals:

"We have Peace Wall, which is one of our first and most iconic murals which is in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia."
