@@@ Shake Shack's first Philly location selected the Mural Arts Program as its charity partner when it opened two-plus years ago.

As part of the arrangement, 5 percent of the sale price of the Center City Pretzel frozen custard concrete goes to Mural Arts.

Now the relationship has moved beyond quiet fundraising efforts.

It is going up on the wall, so to speak.

Mural Arts and Shake Shack are collaborating on a mural to be installed above the Center City location at 20th and Sansom Streets, and the public is invited from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 18 to help create it.

Artist , whose work is all over town (including indoors at La Colombe across from City Hall), designed"Summer Rendezvous,"  which shows a little boy climbs a ladder to offer an ice cream cone to a little girl in a window.

In a press release, Shake Shack explains that Guinn was inspired by the green wall that surrounded the Center City shop during its opening construction: "Reinforced by the plantings that decorate the roof year-round, the mural presents a fantasy of plants growing up the building wall, framing the whimsical encounter between the children."

A dedication ceremony is planned for December.
