ABOUT US

Color Compton is an arts and history organization grounded on theories and concepts of art making, storytelling, identity, community and history. Through youth internships and community workshops, we highlight the importance of storytelling and narratives throughout history while also introducing visual art techniques and mediums to empower each person to develop their own narratives.

MISSION

Our mission is to disrupt the single and limited story of marginalized communities such as Compton by serving as a pillar in the community where our Black and Brown histories and art are honored and preserved. We aim to elevate youths’ artistic skills and education to foster future art abolitionists.

VISION

We aim to elevate youths’ artistic skills and education to foster future art abolitionists. We envision a world where Black and Brown communities control their histories and narratives by reclaiming the power of their stories through the arts.
