The Tacony LAB Community Art Center
is a program of Mural Arts Philadelphia in partnership with
City Councilmember Mike Driscoll.
It is located in the Tacony neighborhood of Northeast Philadelphia.
Created in 2017 by Mural Arts Philadelphia with the support of former Councilman Bobby Henon, the Tacony LAB Community Arts Center brings the neighborhood and the arts together to create a unique hub for learning, creativity, and community engagement in Northeast Philadelphia. The Tacony LAB runs an artist-in-residence program, offers art classes for adults and youth, holds open studio sessions for the public in our well-equipped studio/maker space, and presents arts-focused events free of charge. The Tacony LAB is wheelchair accessible.

advocacy that inspires, and educational programming and
employment opportunities that empower.
