A Bit About Vivid Black Paint (from their website)
Mission
Vivid Black Paint provides supportive programming to Honor and Uplift Aspiring and Established Artists who identify as black and as persons of color and to provide welcoming space for people to smile, laugh and be entertained with circus and art as a vital service to mental well being and social-emotional development.

We also serve the community at large with joy and entertainment, primarily through art and circus.

Our Programming allows space for our artists to come together, build community, collaborate, exchange, mentor, and witness one another’s art.

Featured Student of the Week – Elana G

“I started training in 2015. I love the positive, encouraging community at Stomping Ground. Kristen is a terrific teacher, and the students are so supportive of each other. Everyone is there to cheer each other on, work hard, and have fun. Plus, it’s the only strength training I’ve ever looked forward to!”
