MAP leaders, including Jane Golden, hold regular meetings to listen to the collective voices of community members, discussing their problems, frustrations, hopes, and dreams.

[5] MAP's projects, such as the "Healing Walls," have facilitated dialogues between prisoners, crime victims, and community members, leading to mutual understanding and transformation.

This initiative exemplifies how art can serve as a medium for healing and redemption, breaking down barriers and fostering empathy among diverse groups.

Overall, MAP's impact extends beyond beautifying urban spaces; it actively engages residents in the artistic process, thereby promoting social cohesion, empowering individuals, and fostering a sense of community ownership and pride.

[8] Golden has taught at Graterford Prison for many years and has also spearheaded a collaborative project connecting inmates and juveniles at a correction facility with a Kensington neighborhood.

Connections at Graterford brought Golden to a position where she could support conceptual artist Peggy Diggs, who worked with inmates to construct shelters for disaster survivors.
