Make a Gift
It all begins with one brushstroke—the spark that ignites change. A single brushstroke that causes a ripple effect and transforms our city and the lives of those who live here.
Murals are more than just paint on walls. They create community, inspire individuals, revitalize neighborhoods and give hope. They tell the story of our city and give voice to its people, its cultures, its history and traditions. At Mural Arts, it is our mission to paint it forward—to help the force of life triumph in every neighborhood of our city.
Every day we see these murals breathe life into communities and individuals. Every day we PAINT IT FORWARD—using art and art-making to make a difference in the lives of others, who in turn, go on to do good in the world. An investment in the Mural Arts Program is an investment in our people, our city and our work. You can PAINT IT FORWARD by making your gift to the Mural Arts Program today. Support the Mural Arts Program's 2009-2010 Annual Giving Campaign.
