Paint for Progress is our student-led nonprofit that provides free, hands-on art education to young artists in the local community. Our programs come from our early memories of uncertainty in how to start our art journey with materials and resources. In an unprecedented way, meaningful artistic involvement has become more expensive than ever, but we believe it doesn’t have to be. We have seen what art can allow us to do and foster us to become.

To achieve our vision, we are currently providing multi-day art workshops and camps, but we hope to expand our impact by distributing art care packages to students who may lack access to creative resources. We focus on making art accessible, giving every student an equal opportunity to develop skills and confidence while keeping all programs affordable in the community. All resources we receive are reinvested directly back into supporting our students and programs!
