Free admission to see the world's largest indoor collaborative work of art? Works For Me! With this new initiative, American Mural Project is celebrating the people who keep our world moving—one month at a time.
Through its giant five-story, 120-foot long mural and its accompanying audio tour (available in English and Spanish), AMP tells the story of the everyday American worker. Each month in 2026, this one-of-a-kind exhibit will be offering free admission to honor a different sector of workers who make our communities thrive.
AMP Founder and Artistic Director Ellen Griesedieck states, "My vision for the mural is to spotlight the contributions of the American worker and acknowledge the importance of their labors. Each month in 2026, we invite employers and employees in a particular sector to come discover themselves in the mural—and take pride in their hard work."
