About
Together, we create art that transforms.
Mural Arts Philadelphia is the nation’s largest public art program, dedicated to the belief that art ignites change. For 40 years, we have united artists and communities through mural-making to create art that transforms public spaces and individual lives.
Mission and Vision
Through participatory public art, Mural Arts Philadelphia inspires change in people, places, and practices, creating opportunity for a more just and equitable Philadelphia.
We envisions a world where all people have a say in the future of their lives and communities; where art and creative practice are respected as critical to sense of self and place; and where cultural vibrancy reflects and honors all human identities and experiences.
