We are a public art project that inspires artists to create work in their communities–sparking hope, connection, and conversations about mental health.

To fulfill our mission, we rely on individual donations, grants, and corporate sponsorship.

With your generous support You Are Not Alone Murals has touched lives, inspired change and offered solace to countless individuals. Your donations now will help ensure that the cost of installation will never be a barrier for artists who want to participate, and that each artist is highlighted on our site and social media and given the opportunity to share their unique story with our community.

2024 Goals (updated!)

✨100 Murals - COMPLETE as of May 2024!
Reach 100 murals worldwide in 2024, target untapped cities, and engage local artists. This milestone is a testament to our dedication to spreading art and compassion on a global scale.

💫Seaport Mural Festival, NYC - COMPLETE as of May 2024!
Curate and produce our third annual mural festival, an uplifting event that includes 10+ artists painting in multiple languages to reflect the diverse population of NYC and speak to them directly.

🌟More Personal Stories - IN PROGRESS new content added to YouTube
Create new video content and interviews of the artists sharing what the You Are Not Alone Murals message means to them. Showcasing this vulnerability will allow viewers to connect with the message more deeply and foster a compassionate, online community. Someone has to take the first step and be vulnerable. Through the videos we share we give our artists the platform to be that brave soul.

✨Greater Presence in Schools - IN PROGRESS next one scheduled for Fall 2024
There is a mental health crisis on US high school and college campuses. Students are reporting dramatically higher rates of depression, anxiety, and thoughts of self harm. You Are Not Alone Murals is dedicated to engaging with this vulnerable community and creating murals in their schools as a daily reminder of hope.

💫 Murals at Camp Buehring, Kuwait - MOVING TO 2025
Active-duty US soldiers will join You Are Not Alone Murals artists Jay Rivera (SSG,USA, Ret.) and Riki Rivera, of Laced and Found to create two murals on base. These murals will spark much needed conversations about mental health, reinforcing that mental health is part of overall health and that seeking help is a sign of strength. Folktale Creative will film the experience.
