Measuring the Impact of Murals on Mental Health
Measuring the impact of a mural organization can be challenging. While the beauty and vibrancy of our artwork are immediately visible, the deeper effects on community well-being and mental health can often feel intangible. However, we are committed to demonstrating the positive change we create. Through thoughtful evaluations, community feedback, and tangible outcomes, we can prove the significant impact our murals have on individuals and neighborhoods alike.
