Describe the Organization's Program Activity:

Part 3 - Line 4a

COMMUNITY MURALS AND RESTORATIONS & STEWARDSHIP - FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS, MURAL ARTS HAS WORKED WITH COMMUNITIES TO CREATE A COLLECTION THAT HAS MADE PHILADELPHIA "THE MURAL CAPITAL OF THE WORLD". MURALS HAVE A LIFESPAN OF ABOUT 15 YEARS BEFORE THEY BEGIN TO PEEL AND FADE, TRANSITIONING FROM BEAUTIFICATION TO BLIGHT. IT IS TROUBLING TO WATCH DETERIORATION, BECAUSE IT UNDERMINES THE INTENT OF THE PROJECTS: TO UPLIFT, SIGNAL MOMENTUM AND CATALYZE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. PRODUCTION OF NEW ART CONTINUES, BUT WE OWN OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR RESTORING, DECOMMISSIONING OR REPLACING AGING WORKS. MURAL ARTS CURRENTLY LEADS SIGNIFICANT RESTORATION OF APPROXIMATELY 20 MURALS A YEAR.


ART EDUCATION - MURAL ARTS DELIVERED AFTER-SCHOOL, IN SCHOOL, AND SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR YOUTH IN COLLABORATION WITH PARTNER SITES, INCLUDING COMMUNITY AND RECREATION CENTERS, SCHOOLS, AND YOUTH SERVICES CENTERS. THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC POSED UNIQUE CHALLENGES WHICH WERE OVERCOME BY LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY TO DELIVER PROGRAMMING REMOTELY. TOTAL ENROLLMENT FOR ALL TRACKS WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,000. EVERY STUDENT HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN ART PROJECTS THAT STEMMED FROM IDEAS VOICED BY YOUTH IN THE PROGRAM, OPPORTUNITIES BROUGHT TO US BY YOUTH-SERVING PARTNERS, ISSUES OF RELEVANCE TO YOUNG PEOPLE, AND ASSETS VALUED BY YOUTH CULTURE.


RESTORATIVE JUSTICE - MURAL ARTS' GUILD RE-ENTRY PROGRAM IS AN INNOVATIVE WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT MODEL FOR RETURNING CITIZENS AND YOUNG ADULTS ON PROBATION. DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH THE CITY'S YOUTH VIOLENCE REDUCTION PARTNERSHIP (YVRP). THE GUILD PROVIDES A SUPPORTIVE ARTS-BASED LEARNING ENVIRONMENT WHERE PARTICIPANTS EARN AN HOURLY WAGE TO BUILD PRACTICAL SKILLS THROUGH TRAINING WITH PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTORS, APPRENTICESHIPS WITH COMMUNITY PUBLIC ART PROJECTS, AND MENTORSHIP FROM OUR JOBS OPPORTUNITIES SPECIALIST AND INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY RE-ENTERED SOCIETY. WE PRIORITIZE PLACING PARTICIPANTS ON PROJECTS WITH SIGNIFICANT CIVIC VALUE, LIKE RECREATION CENTERS, COMMUNITY GARDENS AND CULTURAL CENTERS, SO THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO COMMUNITIES ARE RECOGNIZED AND VALUED AND THE INVESTMENT IN THE PROGRAM HAS A SECOND OUTCOME OF IMPROVING PUBLIC SPACES.
