Career Connected Learning - Mural Arts

The most important thing that I learned is that art helps bring communities together.

- Delayla, Mural Arts Summer Program Participant

The Mural Arts Career Connected Learning (C2L-PHL) program provides paid career exploration to Philadelphia-based students aged 14-21 in partnership with JEVS Human Services. This six-week summer intensive program introduces youth participants to hands-on work readiness experiences in what it takes to be a working artist. Through project-based learning, employing drawing, painting, photography, mixed media, and mural making, youth participants learn to develop their own creative portfolio while working with locally and nationally known artists.
