Paint Love believes art empowers young people and strengthens communities. Our programs help schools and organizations bring more art to more kids. Art is our vehicle, but the soul of our work is showing children that their voice matters, their ideas are important, and their actions can make a difference in shaping the future. We choose art because creativity is about humanity and expression, imagination and voice- and these things are essential for both dreaming up big ideas and bringing them to life. Paint Love is a nonprofit organization bringing extraordinary arts programming to youth facing poverty and trauma. We partner with Title 1 schools and nonprofit organizations to empower youth through creative projects that are artist-led and shaped by trauma-informed standards. We envision a world where all young people have access to creative experiences that empower them to imagine a future not limited by adverse experience. Since 2014, we have served over 18,000 young people across over 100 community partners.
