about mural arts
04
For 28 years, the Mural Arts Program 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. At the heart of our work are the 50 to 100 mural and other public art projects we lead each year. These projects range in scale and purpose, but all include a diversity of stakeholders in the creation of the artwork, and we work with partners to align our projects to existing strategies. This deeply collaborative approach to creating public art builds social capital, inspires a sense of communal ownership over public space, and empowers people to continue to work for positive change in their communities. Our murals also create unique project-based learning opportunities for thousands of marginalized youth and adults in our Art Education for Youth, Restorative Justice, and Behavioral Health programs.

Mural Arts is honored to work with one of the nation’s cultural treasures: poet, activist, and educator Sonia Sanchez. This new mural engages the Philadelphia community and beyond in an exploration of the haiku as a vehicle for peace and urban transformation.

Residents, visitors, and citizens from around the world have contributed haiku to the project online. Visit peace.muralarts.org.

The project explores the impact of immigration in the lives of Mexican immigrant youth in South Philadelphia in connection with youth in Chihuahua, Mexico. Aqui y Alla, which translates to “here and there,” refers to the youth in both Philadelphia and Mexico whose lives are impacted by immigration through their family dynamic, sense of identity, socioeconomic status, and violence against their communities. This project works simultaneously on both sides of the border to join the two cultural worlds through the vision of young people.
