Concrete Couch Mission Statement

To work with kids and community groups to create public art, to build community,

and to create environments and experiences that humanize our world…

We’re Concrete Couch and we help communities come together to do amazing things.

Concrete Couch has been connecting communities since 1990. We started out as a loosely-affiliated but tightly-aligned group of teachers, artists, builders, optimists, pragmatists, environmentalists, and super-heroes (plus the odd dramatist, literally). We gained our 501C3 status in 2004 and have been going strong ever since.The people we bring together for our projects and programs create murals, bridges, towers, mosaics, park benches, friendships, wacky experiences, grow spinach (and other delectables), and, yes, make the occasional concrete couch. Our participants also build confidence, connection, hope, self-esteem, skills, and optimism.We love what we do, we think it’s important, and we hope you’ll come along to be a part of it all.
