Since 1984, The Mural Arts Program has been serving Philadelphia’s communities, using art to ignite physical transformation and social change. More than simply art on walls, our projects work with artists and residents to create meaning and impact in our city and in the lives of individuals. We work through our three program areas: Art Education, that provides youth with free summer and out-of-school educational opportunities, Behavioral Health, that partners with local service providers and their clients struggling with behavioral health issues, and Restorative Justice that works with inmates and former inmates to use art to break the cycle of crime and violence. We host tours of our murals for more than 10,000 residents and visitors from all over the world each year.
As a public-private partnership, Mural Arts leverages a modest allocation of public funds with private dollars to make our work sustainable. We rely on the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations and we are deeply thankful to all of our supporters over the years.
Make a donation online, mail it, give through the United Way or contact us to discuss a planned giving opportunity.
