Driving along Government Street, Florida Boulevard and Nicholson Drive, color bursts from the painted walls of blighted buildings, high-rises and local businesses. Many of these local murals and art installations are thanks to local nonprofit The Walls Project.
Casey Phillips started The Walls Project in 2012, and today the organization continues to thrive with the help of more than 2,000 volunteers and the creative talents of local artists like Marc Fresh, Skinny Dope and Ellen Ogden.
But for four days each year, the group joins forces with the community to beautify whole blocks of the city.
