Our Story
During a conversation about Urban Art in mid 2011, our founders discovered a need within the Nashua Community for an urban arts organization. With fresh inspiration and motivation to bring about this new idea to the people of Nashua, they rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Meeting new people with similar ideas and goals, they began to form the group that later became Positive Street Art (PSA). With guidance from various community leaders and support from many organizations, the group began to form its core values, goals and most importantly its mission. The first goal was to make a statement, and what better statement than a large piece of public art.
The Face of PSA
Created by the first artists Cecilia, Maggie and Manny. This Mural depicted a face of an organization that stood for positivity and artistic expression. Comprised of dozens of words juxtapozed carefully to illustrate a beautiful face.
Positive Street Art incorporated and became a 501C-3 Non-Profit organization officially on January 19, 2012.
All eyes on us!
The mural executed and the community welcomed it as a success. Now what? Education is always the key to higher understanding social issues, like the negative connotations that go along with urban art ( Graffiti and Street Art). PSA then connected with local After School Programs to teach youth Urban Art. After many more Murals PSA launched its Urban Dance workshops, that are still popular today. PSA continues to inspire the youth and community at large with murals, dance, fun events and much more.
Inspire Passion
Our mission statement is to inspire passion for urban arts in a productive way, and to build strong communities through educational workshops, community events and artistic services.
