Project Color Corps
Project Color Corps: Transforming Communities Through the Power of Color At Project Color Corps, we believe in the transformative power of color to inspire well-being, joy, and equity in under-resourced communities. Through vibrant, intentional design, we help create spaces where children and communities feel a deeper sense of belonging and possibility. Our participatory, community-based approach makes us unique as a public arts organization. We integrate color application education into schools, collaborate with students as co-designers, and lead high-impact design transformations in communities nationwide. Beyond large-scale murals, we spread “optical optimism” through Random Acts of Color—small, often temporary public art projects that break monotony and spark wonder, reflection, and joy. At our core, we operate with a simple yet powerful belief: thoughtful, intentional design—paired with arts education—has the power to shape brighter futures. Want to bring color and change to your community? Join us in making an impact: we’re proving that color has the power to uplift, unify, and inspire—creating brighter, more vibrant communities.
