Project Description

With the support from the California Arts Council, Colors for Kids will support painting murals for schools, detention centers, psychiatry centers, and other projects for vulnerable youth. We aim to work extensively with youth (and pay staff) with the funds.

Organization Summary

Colors for Kids is a collection of formally trained artists with the desire to better serve their immediate community through art access. We promote art access by transforming private, public, state, and federal spaces from otherwise banal architecture to heartening and memorable spaces. As painters, activists, and environmentalists, we work together to beautify spaces through murals whilst including our community in the processes.
Through our mission Colors for Kids delivers murals and mural-creating opportunities to those who may not be able to afford or create one. Especially now, our communities need things that are awe inspiring. We want to make it possible for everyone to feel welcomed through uplifting words and visuals when they enter facilities, buildings, what have you. Instead of monochromatic drab, gloomy walls with nothing to inspire, imagine brighter, more uplifting spaces.
