Project Color Corps is a nonprofit organization based in Berkeley, California, that uses color and design to enhance communities, particularly those that are under-resourced. The organization engages in participatory, community-based initiatives that involve schools, students, and local residents in color application education and co-design processes, followed by large-scale design transformations in urban spaces. Its work includes public art projects such as murals and smaller, temporary installations described as Random Acts of Color, aimed at promoting well-being, belonging, and a sense of possibility through intentional design. The target audience includes schools and communities seeking to uplift public spaces, with a focus on equity and social impact through arts education and visible, transformative artwork. Project Color Corps positions itself within the nonprofit arts and public art sector, emphasizing collaboration, education, and community empowerment as core methods. The organization notes a nationwide scope for its community projects, reflecting its goal of spreading “optical optimism” through color-driven interventions. A recent development noted is a partnership announced in September 2022 with BAMO, Inc. to collaborate on beauty and possibility in an underserved neighborhood, illustrating continued community engagement through strategic partnerships.
