MuralsDC serves as a compliment to DPW’s mission to clean and beautify the nation’s capital. Since its pilot in 2007, MuralsDC has painted nearly 150 murals in every ward of the city–more than any other entity in the District. While most of the artists are local, the program has worked with artists across the country & around the world, creating some of the most engaging and photographed murals in the region.
