Our Bank President

For the past 30 years, Meg Saligman has created large-scale public art worldwide, including some of our nation’s largest murals. In her native city of Philadelphia alone, Saligman has created landmark artworks such as Common Threads for Mural Arts Philadelphia at Broad and Spring Garden Streets 1997; Philadelphia Muses 2001; Perspective and Perception in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (2014); and Passing Through (2004), seen by 100,000 motorists each day on Interstate 76. Other highlights from the past decade include public installations for Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia in 2015 and for the Republican and Democratic National Conventions in 2016. 

In 2022, Saligman made a surprise career move, accepting a position as the bank president and artistic visionary behind Ministry of Awe (MoA) in Old City, Philadelphia, the nation’s oldest banking district. MoA, a mysterious entity, has inspired Saligman to embark upon one of her largest works to date: a tour-de-force, six-story work of art that visitors can experience beginning in March 2026, open six days a week for all your banking needs. 

Saligman’s work has been featured by the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, NPR, Public Art Review, the Today Show, and numerous others. She has received honors from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Mid-Atlantic Council for the Arts, and a host of awards, including the Moore College of Art & Design Visionary Woman Award, Washington University in St. Louis Distinguished Alumnae Award, and Mural Arts Philadelphia Visionary Artist Award.
