An initiative of the United Nations, World Water Day 2023, is about accelerating change to solve the water and sanitation crisis. Water affects everyone, so we need everyone to take action. You and your family, school, and community can make a difference by changing the way you use, consume, and manage water in your lives.

This is a once-in-a-generation moment for the world to unite around water. Play your part. Do what you can. Find out how you can make a difference here.

Water affects everyone, so we need everyone to take action. Mural Arts Philadelphia is committed to supporting this important environmental issue. Here, we share some of our inspiring murals that incorporate water as a theme, as it is essential to our daily lives.
