COOL is a community-driven arts program that draws from the stories of parents and communities to make public art that celebrates neighborhoods and affirms Black Genius.
Storytelling
Artists are the visionaries for our liberation. You’ll collaborate with local artists and organizers to design and create public art that celebrates Black culture, resilience, and joy.
Joyful Belonging
Our communities foster learning. Parent artists work with our communities to reclaim our narratives. You’ll join a network of parents, artists, and community leaders to reimagine public learning spaces based on community dreams.
Support
Art isn’t just beautiful–it puts power in the hands of the people. Through workshops and tailored support, you’ll develop skills in cultural organizing, public art advocacy, and community-driven design to create public learning environments that are joyful.
