What happens when art meets community? 🎨❤️

Casey Phillips, CEO of The Walls Project, sat down with Lauren Przybyl on The Post to talk about how public art can help bring people together and create lasting change across South Dallas.

“The southern sector has always been sunny. We’re just trying to bring a little bit of extra shine.” ☀️

Since 2012, The Walls Project has used murals, community partnerships, and volunteer-driven projects to help transform overlooked spaces into places people feel proud of.

This work is about more than painting walls.
It’s about building community.
Creating opportunities.
And showing what’s possible when people come together.

Big thanks to and for highlighting the work happening in our neighborhoods.
