Dorchester Art Project is an artist-run space in Dorchester MA, Boston’s largest neighborhood. Housing fourteen artists’ studios, a gallery, and a performance space, DAP supports innovative artistic practice outside of the city’s academic institutions and commercial galleries. By providing an alternative space for critically engaged, experimental and emerging artists across disciplines, we seek to foster new connections across Boston’s diverse art communities.

That’s a wrap! 🎨✨

Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend to be part of the “The Mural Project” — from our volunteers and incredible artists to every passerby who picked up a brush or stopped to show love. Together, we turned walls into stories, color into community, and creativity into connection.

Special thanks to our artists (, , ) partners ( + + + ) our coordinators at and everyone else who helped make this activation possible. The murals now stand as a reminder of what collaboration, culture, and care can create.

With love,

From Dorchester ❤️
