Mission and Program Overview

Mission

The mission of the walls project is to break down societal barriers through the power of art, education, and community engagement. By fostering creativity, collaboration, and inclusivity, the walls project revitalizes underinvested communities, empowers individuals with digital and workforce skills, and strengthens local economies. Through public art, creative placemaking, workforce training, and urban agriculture initiatives, we inspire action and create equitable opportunities for all, ensuring that communities thrive together.

The Walls is a collective of artists, business leaders, and community volunteers dedicated to stimulating the creative arts economy movement here in Louisiana. We are doing so by delivering public artworks that inspire urban and rural beautification, dialogue, and unity. In the recent decades the proliferation of large-scale murals across the globe has made it clear that public art is becoming one of most prolific cultural voices of the 21st century.Through our murals, sculptures, and digital installations The Walls Project will continue to use visual storytelling by creating art that inspires, educates, and creates an artistic sense of place in communities where we work. To date all 15 of our murals have involved artists from or living here in Louisiana and juried selected by a board of their peers.

Governance Explanations

Form 990, Part VI, Line 1A: Explanation of Delegated Broad Authority to Committee

“The board delegates authority to 3 ancillary committees for efficiency and expertise. The delegated authority is primarily restricted to diligence efforts on proposed topics as they relate to the subject matter at hand. This allows the committee to engage professionals for diligence matters specific to the subcommittee agenda should they be warranted.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 2: Description of Business or Family Relationship of Officers, Directors, Et

“From time to time, the organization relies on contracting of professional services to accomplish its organizational mission. Often times, the organization's board consists of individuals who carry this expertise. Before awarding a member of the board these opportunities, the General Manager of the organization takes a vote of the independent board members of which proposal to award the contract. If a board member has submitted a proposal, they abstain from voting on the motion entirely. No all contracting opportunities go to board members.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 3: Description of Delegated Duties to Management Company

“The management company is contracted to perform specified actions over a specified term according the agreement set forth between the organization and it's contracted management company.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 11B: Form 990 Review Process

“The form 990 is circulated in draft format amongst the Compliance Committee. Upon the Compliance Committee's approval of the draft 990, the Compliance Committee submits the 990 to the full board for final approval prior to filing.”

Form 990, Part VI, Line 19: Other Organization Documents Publicly Available

“The organization makes records available to the public upon requests.”

IRS990/MissionDesc0The Walls is a collective of artists, business leaders, and community volunteers dedicated to stimulating the creative arts economy movement here in Louisiana. We are doing so by delivering public artworks that inspire urban and rural beautification, dialogue, and unity. In the recent decades the proliferation of large-scale murals across the globe has made it clear that public art is becoming one of most prolific cultural voices of the 21st century.Through our murals, sculptures, and digital installations The Walls Project will continue to use visual storytelling by creating art that inspires, educates, and creates an artistic sense of place in communities where we work. To date all 15 of our murals have involved artists from or living here in Louisiana and juried selected by a board of their peers.
