Mural Arts Philadelphia - citywide public-art program

Mural Arts Philadelphia began in 1984 as the city's anti-graffiti program and evolved into a nonprofit public-art organization that has produced thousands of murals and community-art projects across the city. The program provides public-art commissions, education, employment and restorative-justice initiatives, and guided mural tours that highlight neighborhood histories and local artists. Its work is widely cited as a defining element of Philadelphia's contemporary cultural landscape.
