Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Pick a program on the Programs page, call the tours line at (215) 925-3633 about a walking tour, or sign up on the mailing list to hear about events..

You can just show up.

What to expect

Public murals are free to see, and you can take a guided walking tour on set dates, though some tours have sold out. The site does not give tour prices or the time of each event, so call (215) 925-3633 or check the event listing before you go.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call (215) 925-3633 early for walking tours, since some dates sell out.
  • Check each event listing for its time and location, because the calendar shows dates only.
  • The Mural Arts Center is at 1727-29 Mt. Vernon Street, Philadelphia 19130.
  • Ask about wheelchair or other access before you come, since the site does not describe it.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Public murals and events are open to anyone and a phone line handles tours, but the site does not say how someone enrolls in the education or civic programs..
