Why Our Hearts Beat

We are Graffiti HeArt, a vibrant collective dedicated to empowering graffiti writers, street artists and aspiring artists. Driven by a passion for creativity, we collaborate with donors and artists who share our vision of adding color to any canvas.

We guide projects from that little spark of an idea to implementation. With every stroke, splash, or spray of paint, we aim to leave a lasting impression, connecting the blank canvases of the city of Cleveland with artists to bring a project to life and transform neighborhoods.

Our projects not only offer commissions to talented local artists and street art legends including graffiti writers, street artists and muralists - but also serve as a catalyst for funding art education scholarships and urban development initiatives.
