About Community Through Colors
OUR ART COLLECTIVE
What ctc means
Community Through Colors (CTC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Puerto Rico that works at the intersection of public art, agriculture, disaster relief, and community resilience. Founded in 2016, CTC began as a grassroots art collective and has since expanded into a multi-dimensional force for change across the Caribbean.
Our work is deeply tied to the cultural, ecological, and political realities of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. We don’t bring “outside” solutions—we build with communities, in language, in context, and in solidarity.
In doing so, CTC has founded two additional initiatives: La Finca de Hamberto, our community hub for sustainable agriculture and food sovereignty; and Sail Relief Team, which focuses on hurricane disaster relief and providing solar power to underserved communities. In all of our efforts, environmental justice is a key priority.

OUR FUTURE
Where CTC
Is Going
We’re not here to replace systems—we’re here to reimagine them. Through land, energy, art, and collective care, we create blueprints for what recovery looks like when it’s led by the people most impacted. We train farmers, deploy disaster response teams by sea, install solar in the mountains, and build emergency radio infrastructure in forgotten corners of the Caribbean.
Every mural we paint, every farm bed we turn, and every solar array we install tells a story:
We are not waiting to be saved—we’re building the tools to save ourselves.
Community Through Colors (CTC) was founded in 2016 as a mobile art exchange with the mission to spread hope and awareness by using art to reflect the similarities between all humans, despite geographical or cultural location.
OUR COMMUNITY NETWORK HUB PARTNERS
Our Ecosystem of Impact: Community Through Colors, Sail Relief Team, and La Finca de Hamberto form a collaborative network. Together, we build community resilience through art, food sovereignty, and disaster response.
