About the Project
The HOME: A Stay-at-Home Mural Festival for our Planet was a global, open call for artists to paint murals in the safety of their homes while sheltering in place due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Together, we transformed drab white walls at home into visionary canvases for a brighter future. In response to COVID-19, and in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day (April 22), HOME became the world’s first stay-at-home environmental mural festival.
From April 21-26, 2020, we mounted a globe-spanning campaign to unite creatives around the common cause of giving our HOME planet an artistic voice as we set our sights on a world post-coronavirus. Above and beyond the murals, we hosted 20 sessions of diversified virtual programming, including live streaming from artists’ homes, panel discussions, and webinars.
