Mission

Founded in 1996, Publicolor uses color, collaboration, design, and the painting process to re-engage students in their education, schools, communities, and to ultimately transform them into productive members of our workforce. We engage disaffected teenage students in their education by involving them in adding color to all the public spaces in their schools. We teach the process of commercial painting to create a new community of students who work together to improve their learning environments. Our programs provide them access to tutoring, career exposure workshops, college guidance and paid painting apprenticeships.
