Philadelphia's Mural Arts Program incorporates the concepts of restorative justice through art instruction, mural making, and community service work within the criminal justice system.

Mural Arts Artworks/Family Court Group Project (9)
FOOD Court is a youth-focused multimedia project which is produced in collaboration with family court youth involved in the Mural Arts ArtWorks program. Motivated by observations about the health and eating habits of youth, FOOD Court attempts to address some of the causes of good and poor health in our communities. Participants took photographs, collaged mini models of the pyramid and the group worked collaboratively on a large food pyramid pop-up that concluded with a short stop motion animation.
