COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT & PLACE-MAKING

Core Values: Participation, Pride, Transformation

Every DAMA mural is a community story. Our engagement program brings together neighbors, youth, and artists to design, plan, and paint public art that reflects local histories and hopes. Whether in a bustling urban corridor or a quiet rural town, we aim to foster pride and connection through shared creative action.

By engaging people who have historically been left out of public decision-making, we turn art into a vehicle for equity and visibility. The process is as important as the final mural: everyone’s input matters, and everyone’s presence is valued.
