Murals are an opportunity for everyone to come together. We create inclusion by providing opportunities for individuals with special needs to work side by side with community members. Young adults with special needs are employed as Muralism Crew members and Artists to prepare the murals. Other nonprofits that provide services for kids with special needs (Villa Esperanza, John Muir High School, Los Angeles Unified School District, Exceptional Children’s Foundation) are invited to paint with us. The murals are opened up to the public as an opportunity for everyone to work together. Working alongside everyday people, our Artists are appreciated for their talents and gain a sense of purpose.
“This is a totally fantastic project! It is such a pleasure working with Muralism. My kids are collaborating on the restoration and expansion of this historical 1976 mural. It is an investment in our future students and the community as a whole.”
- Sixto Saravia -Principal of Amelia Earhart Continuation School, North Hollywood
How to get involved
Time:
Once the design has been developed, which can take up to 10 days working with a dedicated Muralism artist to bring your design ideas to reality and the actual process of painting a mural takes between two and four weeks. Co-ordinating the public paint day takes some time and depends on how big or small an event you want it to be but allow at least 2 weeks.
