Lift Up Living Walls

This fundraiser is organized by Living Walls The City Speaks.

Tax deductible

Since 2010, Living Walls has been at the forefront of creating public art across Atlanta and beyond. We empower artists, foster creativity, and enrich communities through large-scale murals that inspire social change and activate public spaces. In these 14 years, we've seen a transformation of the public art industry as we've invested in the careers of women, people of color, and LGBTQIA+ artists.

As we face one of the worst economies of our lifetimes, countless small businesses, independent artists and organizations are struggling, and ours is no exception. This year, we've lost $100,000 of annual funding while commissions have significantly decreased. As a result, we’ve had to cancel our annual projects and programming, including our exchange program Living Walls Abroad and our artist grant honoring the life of our dear friend Laura Calle.

This summer, we’ve set the goal of raising $50,000 to support our operations as we continue to focus on fundraising, grant writing, and getting our organization back on track to sustain our projects and programming into the next fiscal year.

We deeply believe in the impact of our work supporting creative careers and social change through public art. With your help, we can lift up our organization and continue this work for years to come.
