Business improvement districts and parks departments. Municipalities and state arts funders. National brands that want a real connection to a community rather than a logo on a banner.

A New York City business district trusted us with its entire year
The Hudson Yards/Hell's Kitchen Alliance doesn't hire us for an event. They hire us for a calendar — Spring Fling in the spring, Goodbye Summer in September, and Holidays at the Park in winter, all in Bella Abzug Park, all free, all in partnership with NYC Parks.
Spring Fling alone reaches its sixth year in 2026 and now runs across five dates and two areas of the park.
That's what we do: not a one-off activation, but year-round programming a community can count on.

Built by an artist, for artists
Colored Colors was founded in 2019 by José Tutiven, an Ecuadorian-born painter who kept running into the same wall — there was no room for artists like him. So he built one.
