Welcome to the new WALL\THERAPY site!

Our new site is jam-packed with bios and photos from the last five years, a searchable map of the murals, and tons of easier ways to find our murals or be a part of the project. We’ve integrated our Google Cultural Institute exhibitions so that you can view the murals in high resolution year by year. Best of all, the entire site is now searchable!

We want to thank our team member Katie Verrant for the seemingly countless hours she’s put in to both this site, our Google Cultural Institute presence, and a few other projects about to come out! We couldn’t have done this without all her hard work!

Let the 2015 show begin!

WALLTHERAPY and URBAN NATION are excited to launch the International exchange program between Rochester and Berlin. Artists curated by the UN Director Yasha Young have been invited to participate and contribute to the program of WALLTHERAPY 2015 curated by Ian Wilson (founder, co-curator) and Erich Lehman (co-curator, lead organizer). WALLTHERAPY 2015 will kick off on July 17, 2015, and our theme for this year is surrealism and the fantastic.

Brooklyn Street Art founders Jaime Rojo and Steve Harrington will be contributing with a very exciting special BSA FILM FRIDAY at the Memorial Art Gallery.

To start things off right, we will be holding our first proper exhibition kickoff titled IMPACT! This exhibition will take place at 1975 Gallery (89 Charlotte St.) and will showcase artwork from all the 2015 participating WALLTHERAPY artists in support of IMPACT! – IMProving Access to Care by Teleradiology – www.impactrad.org. IMPACT seeks to provide easier access to better care in underdeveloped and underserved regions through cloud-based x-ray services and a network of volunteer radiologists supporting IMPACT sites. Both WALLTHERAPY and IMPACT! are projects of The Synthesis Collaborative.
