About Us

My HomeCourt [MHC] is a nonprofit organization that revitalizes public basketball courts across the city of Providence and transforms the courts into significant works of public art.

In partnership with the Providence Parks Department, we commission locally and internationally known artists to design murals that transform city basketball courts into colorful, living works of art. 

MHC is borne from the idea that everyone should have a homecourt— a safe place to play ball, build community, and express creativity. We believe that these vibrant courts empower and inspire the people who use them.

MHC prioritizes working with Rhode Island artists, tradespeople and vendors.
