Mural Writing AC
Mural Writing AC is a creative writing program created with South Jersey Poets Collective, inviting our community to draw writing inspiration from Atlantic City’s murals.
Members of the South Jersey Poets Collective penned writing prompts for the murals found throughout our city’s 48 blocks. These writing prompts are inspired by the mural they accompany, and we hope they inspire you to write something of your own, in a notebook or on your cell phone.
Prompts are accessible at 17 mural sites via QR code. You can also check out the full list of prompts.
