The Paint Circle, Northborough

The staff of The Paint Circle make their community more vibrant, and they do it in two different ways. The first way is through education: crafting workshops and BYOB painting sessions put brushes, clay, and artistic control in the hands of visiting students. Their other avenue is a commission business. Clients contract the on-staff artists to create massive murals and other decorations, cloaking homes, bars, and theaters in art that ranges from life-size pastoral scenes to hovering dragons or old-fashioned circus posters.
