The program
Through guided workshops and mentorship, students are introduced to muralism as both an expressive art form and a viable career. The experience emphasizes collaboration, storytelling, confidence, and pride, while leaving behind a lasting visual asset for the school.
Three professionally led workshop sessions are followed by mural execution. Each session runs about three hours and can be scheduled after school or integrated into existing art classes.
Designed for high school students, particularly in schools seeking arts enrichment, specialty programming, or more access to creative opportunities. No prior mural or art experience is required.
Curriculum
How murals are planned and created, basic safety practices, and the behind-the-scenes of working as a professional artist. Creative career pathways and how art functions in community contexts.
Students collaborate on concept development rooted in their school’s identity, values, and culture. Through guided discussion and sketching, they shape the visual direction so the final artwork reflects their voices.
Students work alongside a professional muralist to bring the design to life, learning techniques, teamwork, and shared responsibility. The result is a permanent mural designed and painted with student participation.
