"The Mural Arts Program has helped to inspire me. I'm even considering going to college now."

Celiz Heredia, Mural Corps Student

"Each mural is an odyssey. The design is a map. With every mural I learn a lot about the people and the place I am painting for, and about myself."

David Guinn

"You have to work for your neighborhood. You can make a good thing happen. If you do it first, then other people will follow you."
