Side Street Projects, founded in 1992 and based in Pasadena, California, operates as an artist-run, mobile organization within the retail art supplies field. It provides artists of all ages with the means to support their creative work, emphasizing hands-on, do-it-yourself approaches. The organization views its artists as social entrepreneurs who collaborate with communities to address real-world problems. It disseminates knowledge to strengthen the broader field of artists who work with communities, schools, and organizations, prioritizing practical collaboration over passive consumption. Each year, it serves approximately 10,000 adult artists and more than 3,000 children, reflecting a broad reach beyond traditional retail. In June 2026, it released cloud over dena, a limited-edition print by Kenturah Davis, as part of its Phantom Ball edition.
