Our work is
Much more than paint on a wall.
For four decades, we've operated with the belief that art has the power to unlock our greatest collective potential. For us, public art is more than just decoration—it's a driving force for advocacy, education, workforce development, and so much more.

Every MuralArts mural represents a 
growing network of artists, partners, community members, and supporters like you. Together, we make Philadelphia a work of art.
