Roots & Reimagination

Mural Arts Philadelphia is the nation's largest public art program, dedicated to the belief that art ignites change.

For 40 years, Mural Arts has united artists and communities through a collaborative process, rooted in the traditions of mural-making, to create art that transforms public spaces and individual lives. Mural Arts engages communities in 50-100 public art projects each year, and maintains its growing collection through a restoration initiative. Our core program areas—Art Education, Community Murals, Porch Light, and Restorative Justice—yield unique, project-based learning opportunities for thousands of youth and adults.

Each year, 15,000 residents and visitors tour Mural Arts' outdoor art gallery, which has become part of the city's civic landscape and a source of pride and inspiration, earning Philadelphia international recognition as the "Mural Capital of the World".
