Quinta Brunson to receive keys to Philadelphia as ‘Abbott Elementary’-Inspired Mural Is Unveiled
Executive producer and star of “Abbott Elementary”, Philadelphia’s own Quinta Brunson is about to be given the keys to her hometown.
“I am so grateful to be receiving the key to my hometown, Philly,” Brunson said in a statement. “This city shaped me—and now I get to give back with a mural that celebrates all it gave me. I am truly honored.”
Mural Arts and the Greater Philadelphia Film Office are behind the honors, which is also being co-produced by the Office of the City Representative and Special Events, led by City Representative Jazelle Jones.
Jane Golden, executive director of Mural Arts Philadelphia, credits Brunson for her relentless commitment to inspiring the youth of her community and setting an example for the dream chasers of Philadelphia.
“Art has the power to honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the future,” said Golden “‘Blooming Futures’ beautifully captures the spirit of ‘Abbott Elementary’ and the enduring impact of dedicated educators like those at Andrew Hamilton School, whose influence shapes generations. Quinta Brunson’s work is a powerful love letter to the city of Philadelphia, and we are deeply grateful for her unwavering commitment to inspiring young people, uplifting our city, and supporting Mural Arts Philadelphia.”
Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker also had more than kind words to say about Brunson.
“The City of Philadelphia is beyond grateful to have someone as inspiring and compassionate as Quinta Brunson. She doesn’t just represent the spirit of Philadelphia on television, she brings her success home and shares it with the city that loves her back. It goes without saying that education and representation matter. As our young people look for role models, may they find inspiration in dream chasers and change makers like Quinta Brunson. And let us never forget the impact of a great teacher, who shows up every day to uplift, encourage, and fight for the future of our youth.”
