Women's Leadership Initiative Presents a Conversation with Jane Golden: The Role of Public Art in Building Healthy Places

Join ULI Philadelphia's Women Leadership Council for lunch and a lively conversation led by former (and first female) ULI Chair Marilyn Jordan Taylor, Dean of the School of Design at the University of Pennsylvania. 

Jane Golden, Executive Director, has been a driving force for the Philadelphia Mural Arts Program, overseeing its growth from a small city agency into the nation's largest mural program and a model for community development around the globe. Under Golden's direction the Mural Arts Program has created more than 3,600 landmark works of public art through innovative collaborations with community organizations and nonprofits, city agencies, schools, the private sector and philanthropies. Through these partnerships she has developed innovative and rigorous art education, restorative justice, and behavioral health programs serving young people, youth and adult offenders at area prisons and detention centers, and individuals suffering from trauma, mental illness and addiction. This mission has demonstrated the power of art to heal, to connect young people to their communities, to break the cycle of crime and violence, and to create and build healthy places.
