Philadelphia’s fast response to the threat of COVID-19 is a tribute to the City’s dedication to public health and safety, fact-based decision-making, and effective communication with constituents. Through Mural Arts’ decades-long partnership with the City of Philadelphia, we’ve developed deep connections with the city – and made the case for public art at every turn.

The pandemic is no different. As we re-learn how to navigate our neighborhoods and communities, the City has turned to the arts for effective and engaging communications about the new normal.

Art in Action highlights how Mural Arts is stepping in and helping out to keep our communities healthy and our artists working.
