Sprocket Mural Works
Sprocket Mural Works is a non-profit organization that is revitalizing Harrisburg buildings. In 2017 it started a “mural fest,” calling in artists from all around the world to paint murals on walls all over Harrisburg. Artists compete to be chosen to paint one of the murals. That beginning year, the artists completed 18 walls in ten days. When visitors come to Harrisburg, they can see all 45 murals that have been completed since the mural fest began. It makes a great way to see the city – hopping from one mural to the next. Click here for facts about Harrisburg, PA.
