We are so excited for this mural moving forward.

We've power-washed, primed, and transferred the sketch to the wall on Green St. Next comes the color!

Previously, we ran a fundraiser to fund the project and we'd love to raise a little more money to support local Black muralists Terrance Vann and Maryam Adib painting over the next 2 months!

We've been planning this mural for 5 years and now it's all coming together.  Last week, we had Southside and CUMEP volunteers assisting.  We have a community paint day planned for 10am-noon August 9th!

Donate to Ithaca Murals so we can support projects like "ReAwakening the Underground Railroad Mural" by muralists Maryam Adib and Terrance Vann! *A fundraising campaign for [Ithaca Murals - a project of CTA](https://www.givegab.com/nonprofits/ithaca-murals).*

ReAwakening the Underground Railroad Mural!

Ithaca Murals is a grassroots organization shifting our cultural cityscape to better reflect the beautiful people who live here.

Ithaca Murals is a grassroots movement using public art as a powerful tool for justice and community transformation. We coordinate murals across the city that reflect the stories, cultures, and values of the people who live here—especially centering the voices of artists who are BIPOC, LGBTQ+, youth, and people with prison experience. Each mural is more than just paint on a wall; it’s a declaration of belonging and a celebration of community vision.

With over 400 murals and counting, your support helps us fund artist stipends, provide mentorship, and remove barriers so that more people can shape the cultural landscape of Ithaca. Every donation helps transform blank walls into bold expressions of hope, resistance, and unity.
 
**Our Mission:**

**Ithaca Murals is a network of people transforming gray walls into beautiful, meaningful works of art that tell the stories of the diverse people who live here.** 

**We implement a cultural arts strategy for building our community stronger. We welcome everyone to be involved with Ithaca Murals while prioritizing the leadership of people of color, under-employed and working class people, people with jail experience, women, LGBTQ+ community members, youth, and anyone who is passionate about justice.**

**What would you like our cityscape to look like?**
**Watch out. This is an artist takeover. If you're lucky, your house could be next!**
