In addition, their Art Mentor program provides multi-disciplinary workshops taught by artists, writers, and musicians throughout the New York Metro area. Notable Mural projects include the Pediatric Oncology/Hematology unit at Mount Sinai Hospital, Green Chimneys Children's Services, Camp Homeward Bound, Coalition For The Homeless (summer camp for homeless children) and My Sister's Place Domestic Violence Shelters .

The organization is volunteer operated and provides free training and apprenticeship to its volunteer base.
