WHAT IS PTCP?
PAINT THE CITY PEACEFUL is a collaboration between artists, communities, businesses, public spaces, event producers, and more. We harness the ingenuity of our diverse stakeholder body to create awareness and impact for various causes.
OUR STORY
PAINT THE CITY PEACEFUL was born in the wake of George Floyd's murder and the subsequent unrest in Los Angeles. Our community experienced devastating looting, leaving storefronts boarded-up and morale low.
​
We recognized theses boarded-up buildings as blank canvases, and the opportunity to reignite the movement for racial equality in a peaceful and unifying way.
​
So, we organized artists, community members, first responders, business owners, local officials, and more and got to work painting over 100 boarded-up businesses throughout the city of Santa Monica.
​
From there, we expanded our work to activate peaceful change for other causes as well. Art has been our chosen vehicle, a bridge connecting diverse voices and perspectives, and we'll continue to create across communities.
