The Village of Arts and Humanities is an arts organization in North Philadelphia. The Village was founded by Lily Yeh, an artist and Chinese immigrant who was a tenured professor at the Philadelphia School of Fine Arts.[1] It has renovated dozens of urban lots and empty buildings with murals, mosaics, and gardens. In 2001 it received the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence.[2][3]

The Village has been profiled by Reader's Digest and numerous newspapers, and was the subject of a Public Broadcasting Service documentary entitled An Angel in the Village.[4][5]
