Located on Cleveland’s west side the It's Up To Us mural is arguably one of Cleveland's most beloved pieces of public art. A reflection of our neighborhood's experiences and the changing dynamics of the Clark-Fulton neighborhood.  Designed and painted by John Rivera-Resto, the 2,000 square-foot panoramic work of art challenges residents and visitors alike to engage in thoughts and conversation around social and economic pressures throughout our neighborhood. The contents of the mural were a product of thoughtful and intentional community dialogs that created connections amongst running themes.

On the morning of November 14th, neighbors were welcomed by a gruesome act of vandalism against our neighborhood mural. One-third of the mural was defaced by bold and evident tagging, leaving residents and corridor commuters in rage. Together we are channeling these emotions to proactively reclaim our mural. Due to the overwhelming volume of calls on how residents, institutions, the city, and stakeholders can help we have created this crowdfunding effort. Be it sharing this page or making a small contribution, your efforts in helping us reclaim our mural will be a testament to all the mural stands for, HOPE.
