Humboldt Park Mural Arts Program

The mission of the Humboldt Park Mural Art Program (HP MAP) is to create new murals, to restore old murals, and to develop strategies that use murals as a way to represent community issues, ideas, and vision. HP MAP promotes murals as local destinations and uses them as a tool to revitalize the health, well being and vitality of Humboldt Park by developing neighborhood tours for biking and walking. A web-based mural guide and school-based curriculum will use the rich storytelling tradition of murals to convey cultural identity and neighborhood history.

Thanks to all who came out to make art and noise on Saturday, October 30, celebrating three new murals, a mosaic project and the restoration of two historic murals, launching the Humboldt Park Mural Arts Program.
