Community Participation DAYS
Empowering Communities Through Art
PSAA offers unique educational opportunities for individuals and groups to learn about and contribute to street art. hands-on, collaborative Participation and painting days HELP connect communities with the transformative power of art.
p:ear youth participated in two Community Painting Days, working with the lead artist on the Streets of Hope mural in the Central Eastside.
Community Participation Days invite the public to actively participate in the creative process, bringing new life to the spaces where they live, work, and play. These events provide a unique opportunity for participants to collaborate on meaningful projects, guided by the expertise of skilled local artists. Together, community members develop new skills, build lasting connections, and leave a vibrant artistic legacy in their shared environment.
Community Participation Days offer far more than artistic skill-building—they create a profound sense of accomplishment, belonging, and creative expression. Participants feel empowered as integral contributors to a transformative community project. Collaborating with professional artists and peers in a supportive environment helps build confidence, foster teamwork, and inspire hope for future opportunities. These experiences leave a lasting impact, not only on the spaces transformed but also on the people who bring them to life.
Please Note: While PSAA does not usually offer ‘standalone’ Community Participation Days, they can be included as a powerful addition to Mural Projects you are commissioning through us.
