Art is a gateway that gives us the strength to confront the emotions we often hide from...
Wall Ball, Mural Arts Philadelphia’s annual gala fundraiser, is a fun and interactive event that brings together hundreds of Mural Arts supporters. This year we are transforming this exciting event into a memorable virtual experience. Please join us from the comfort of your own home as we commemorate leaders who exemplify positive change. We’ll celebrate Mural Arts’ Porch Light Program, whose aim is to achieve universal health and wellbeing among Philadelphians.
In the comfort of your own home.
Mural Arts Executive Director Jane Golden and Porch Light Director Nadia Malik will address the audience, highlighting two distinctive Mural Arts initiatives, the Kensington Storefront and Color Me Back: A Same Day Work and Pay Program. Created in partnership with the City of Philadelphia’s Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual disAbility Services, these programs foster unity and empathy among neighbors, while transforming public spaces.
Creating uplifts the human spirit and can have a positive impact on shaping reality.
