About
Publicolor: Publicolor
was founded in 1996 by Ruth Lande Shuman with the mission to
counter inner-city public schools’ alarming dropout rate by
engaging disconnected youth in their education through a
continuum of design-based programs and academic support. It
directly addresses two of the root causes of poverty in
America: the under-education of inner-city public school
students and their lack of preparedness for the workforce.
Unique to Publicolor—and central to its mission—is the
beautification and revitalization of public and civic spaces
through the hard work of our students and the power of
paint, color, and design, and collaborations that engage
students and the community as a whole. Publicolor students
transform schools, playgrounds, and community centers from
dreary and hopeless to vibrant and stimulating. Their work
is the quickest, most cost-effective way of bringing in a
culture of rigor, a new sense of safety, and a new sense of
belonging—vital for productive teaching, learning, and
personal growth.
