It's Up to Us Mural

Located at the intersection of Clark Avenue and West 25th Street in Cleveland, Ohio, the It's Up to Us Mural is a renowned public art project that took over two years to complete. Despite facing numerous challenges, including funding shortages and bureaucratic obstacles, artist John Rivera-Resto persevered to create a masterpiece that has been recognized as Cleveland's Public Art of the Year in 2015. The mural tells a captivating story and showcases the artist's journey, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of large-scale public art.

Initiated by Christopher Chris Luciani, the former Cultural Arts Manager for the City of Cleveland, and muralist John Rivera-Resto, the It's Up to Us Mural project began as part of the 'Mural My Neighborhood' program. This collaborative effort employed high school students and an artist teacher to paint murals throughout the city during the summer months. The mural serves as a testament to the power of art in transforming communities and challenging public perceptions, making it a must-see attraction for art enthusiasts and visitors to Cleveland.
