Murals unite neighbors and are catalysts for community revitalization.
Every year the Mural Arts Program offers free art workshops to hundreds of Philadelphia youth. These workshops train young artists as mural painters and prepare youth to become independent, responsible adults and leaders in their communities. Mural Arts uses art education to provide job readiness skills, leadership training, and to show youth that they have the power to change their communities. All photographs by Jack Ramsdale.
