Since 1979, CWOW and other non-profit groups and government entities have partnered to create dozens of large-scale public murals with artist, community based groups, and young people across Newark.
City Without Walls (cWOW) City Murals is a collaborative community-based public art program that beautifies Newark and fosters neighborhood pride while training urban youth for the world of work in a creative economy. City Murals is an investment in cultural capital that improves aesthetics, increases business traffic and building occupancy, and eradicates blight.
