This is an example of how art can directly build communities by establishing pride.

             The Pasadena mural project consists of one mural placed at every public park within the Pasadena area. Children who attended public schools in Pasadena were given the opportunity to draw a picture that represented their community each picture was 8x10. The pictures were then voted on, and the best made there way on to the mural closest park in relation to the school. About 18,000 children took part in this project, along with roughly 22 schools. These murals are used to beautify the parks. The murals are done by the youth of the Pasadena area; this is a way in which everyone within the community is affected by knowing someone who helped this project. With everyone in the community knowing someone who aided in the project, the community has a greater appreciation for the art, and the park.
