Painting events connect communities from Busan to US cities

Across several communities, painting is being used to make art more accessible and strengthen local connections. In Busan, young artists and community partners painted murals on steps in an aging residential neighborhood, while a Camas studio founded by Delaney Taylor aims to offer people a creative space to work through change and express themselves. Libraries and arts groups are also offering low-cost or free activities, including paint-by-numbers sessions for teens and adults, family-friendly painting events in Santa Maria, and an informal outdoor gathering in San Francisco open to painters of all skill levels.
