Groundswell amplifies the voices of young people of color and artists of color, through public art to reflect the brilliance of communities of color. We believe that through the power of expression and art making young people of color discover their agency to affect change in their lives and communities. All murals are based on social justice and community change issues that are important to the communities where we operate, from police brutality to intergenerational relationships.
Every Groundswell artwork begins and ends with a group of community stakeholders, such as teens, artists, organizations, funders, neighbors, and families, who come together to transform their streets. Throughout every stage of the process, Groundswell staff, artists, and youth receive a steady stream of informal and formal community input. We are accountable to our communities.
Our Vision
By elevating youth vision, voice, and community collaboration, we aim to develop the next generation of change makers.
