What is The Gratitude Graffiti Project?

The Gratitude Graffiti Project is a community-wide practice of gratitude expressed through interactive art. 💛

Regularly practicing gratitude can support greater well-being, happiness, and connection. The Gratitude Graffiti Project turns that simple practice into a visual, creative, and participatory experience that invites everyone to pause, reflect, and share what they appreciate.

We ask two simple questions:

What are you grateful for?
What does a grateful community look like through art?

There are no rules about how gratitude should look! Share your gratitude on walls, library cards, sidewalks, storefront windows, or other creative spaces using chalk, markers, Post-its, or whatever you have available.

Become a Gratitude Spot!
