The Barrio Anita Community Mural Project (BAMP) was an 18-month-long public art project near downtown Tucson. The goal of BAMP is to visually enhance the neighborhood along I-10 between Speedway and St. Marys while improving neighborhood life through job skills training and community organizing.

Three permanent murals measuring 7,300 square feet will be fabricated from glass and ceramic mosaic, cast concrete and metal.

Beginning in March 2003 workshops were held in digital photography, design, fabrication and installation. These workshops helped give artists and students hands-on experience in organizing and creating professional community-driven public art.

Design elements and ideas from community workshops were integrated into the overall plan for the murals.
