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.
