IRS990/Desc0Creative Services. In 2024, Local Colors Creative Services program supported the creation of over 20,000 square feet of murals across 36 projects, directly engaging 64 local artists. These public and private commissions included highly visible installations in San Jos, Milpitas, and San Mateo, bringing vibrancy to commercial corridors and community hubs alike. In addition to mural production, this program expanded capacity by hiring a second full-time team member, allowing Local Color to meet growing demand for high-quality public art. Highlights include mural restoration work in partnership with the San Jos Downtown Association and the stewardship of beloved pieces such as Threads Woven by Jimmy Paints and Recuerdos del Este by Edgar Ochoa. This work advanced the organizations mission by increasing artist compensation, expanding access to public art, and reinvesting in the cultural infrastructure of the city.
