The Personal Renaissance Project is a component of a creative partnership between the Mural Arts Program and the City of Philadelphia Department of Behavioral Health, called The Porch Light Initiative, which addresses the destigmatization of behavioral health issues. The Personal Renaissance Project was designed to specifically address the impact that addiction and recovery have upon individuals, families, and communities. It seeks to challenge participants to examine the role addiction and/or recovery plays in their lives. The Personal Renaissance Project recognizes that both addiction and recovery are cyclical processes, non-linear journeys that are intimate and shared. A renaissance infers a transformation, a resurgent shift from "what used to be" into new growth; individually and as diverse communities, we seek to create safe spaces in Philadelphia for a renaissance of the spirit for all of us impacted by addiction and recovery.
