Annual Report FY2019 - Mural Arts Program
2019Annual ReportFY2019muralarts.org
TIt’s more important now than ever thatwe band together. As Mural Arts movesquickly in this new landscape to addressthe needs of the City of Philadelphia,our partner organizations, and the manyindividuals we support, know thatwe cannot do this meaningful workwithout you.his report is shared with you in gratitudefor your support, which gives us the abilityto put art to work on behalf of every citizenin the city. And as we shift to address thepressing and ever-evolving needs thecoronavirus pandemic has thrust upon ourcommunity, we also want to take time toreflect. The impactful programs and worksof art that you helped us create in 2019 shedlight on difficult topics while emphasizingour collective resilience and ability to craftinnovative solutions through art-making.By now you’ve seen Amy Sherald’s toweringUntitled mural project in Center City. Sherald,who famously created First Lady MichelleObama’s presidential portrait, modeled thisvibrant, evocative portrait of a young Blackwoman after a Philadelphian student, Najee S.,in our Art Education program. Students spentthe day with Sherald in her studio learningabout her artistic practice, and those lessonswere adapted to curricula for School Districtof Philadelphia classrooms. We recently heardfrom a New York Times journalist who wasbeing treated for COVID-19 at Thomas JeffersonHospital, across the street from Untitled. Hecould see the mural through his hospital roomwindow, and said that “besides family andfriends, nothing did more to help me getthrough this than art,” and came to think ofthe portrait of this young woman as a friend.As we watched Sherald’s six-story-tallmasterpiece come to life in Center City,we were simultaneously working to buildsomething beautiful underground. Our PorchLight program took up residence inside anabandoned cafe in Suburban Station, a corecommuter hub for the City that has becomea refuge for Philadelphia’s unshelteredcommunities. We launched Color Me Back,an innovative same-day work and pay programthat combines participatory art-making withaccess to social services in partnership with theDepartment of Behavioral Health and disAbilityServices, and hosted a daily lottery that offeredindividuals experiencing economic insecurityan opportunity to earn income and to painta mural in the Suburban Station thoroughfare.In its first iteration, Color Me Back paid 451individuals a total of 77,950 and connectedthem to necessary services and the transformativepower of art-making.Outside of Center City, the KensingtonStorefront, our Porch Light wellness initiative,is a unique space that welcomes anyoneinterested in art-making, personal and publicsafety, or self-care. Through weaving, music-making, and storytelling workshops, theKensington Storefront is changing lives everyday. Community members continue to haveopportunities during the pandemic to speakfor themselves in a profoundly public waythrough weekly arts salons hosted virtually.Our Guild program offers similar opportunitiesfor returning citizens to reassert agency intheir lives. In 2019, 92 formerly incarceratedyoung adults entered this paid apprenticeshipprogram and graduated with new job skills andart-making experience. Throughout the year,they honed technical and artistic skills in studioworkshops, and contributed to murals that willhopefully grace the walls of our city for yearsto come. Quarantine initially posed a numberof challenges for the Guild as many of ourparticipants did not have access to laptops.But we made programming accessible viacell phone, which has given the Guild theopportunity to hone soft skills that will beincorporated into the program even afterthe pandemic.The year ahead will look considerably differentthan 2019. Our determination to innovateincludes not only a view of the future, but,crucially, a response to the present. Ashumanity grapples with new challenges,so too do our processes, the communitieswe work with, and the art we create. Withyour help, we turned this moment into atime for healing through art-making: onlineclasses in art education for families shelteringin place, hand-washing stations across thecity, and Space Pads in public gathering placesfeaturing work by local artists that encourageall Philadelphians to stay healthy. We aregrateful for the ability to remain responsiveand continue working toward our missionduring this time.We hope you’re proud of all we’ve accomplishedtogether. Your investment has been criticalto Mural Arts’ success and its future. As always,we’re looking ahead, with an exciting visionbeyond anything we’ve imagined before.Thank you on behalf of the entire teamat Mural Arts Philadelphia.

Two years ago,Mural Arts came back into his life. Anthony came12across a Facebook post about the organizationand reached out to Jane, suspecting she was stillat it over 35 years later. They’ve stayed in touch,and this year, Anthony was moved to make afirst-time donation.He recently told us why: “To see that.Jane is still inPhiladelphia, still doing what she started so manyyears ago.that’s an awesome thing.” We’re proudof Anthony’s legacy—and thankful for his support! 10,000 - 24,999Brickstone CompaniesCBREChubbEB RealtyJKG Florida Business CorporationLyftOlney PlazaOriglio BeveragePHL SportsPhiladelphia EaglesPNCWawa 5,000 - 9,999Allan Domb Real EstateBerger Family FoundationCardone IndustriesThe Christopher Ludwick FoundationCivitas MarketingDavis Charitable FoundationFashion District PhiladelphiaJanssen PharmaceuticalsThe Christian R. andMary F.
