Even if he didn’t have a word for it, as a toddler, Paul Richmond knew himself as an artist. So did his parents. It was they who identified a mentor for their child in Linda Regula, an artist in their Ohio neighborhood, who typically taught adults. Seeing something in his drawings, Regula took on the 4-year-old and worked with him weekly until he went off to Columbus College of Art and Design. Imagine.
Paul Richmond and Melissa Forman have established “Art Makes Us,” a mentorship network for aspiring artists of any age. Working with Regula’s vision and a team of volunteers, Richmond provides in-person and virtual workshops via Zoom, so people can participate from anywhere in the country, and beyond.
Launched in March, “Art Makes Us” is a multicultural arts organization based in Seaside, whose mission is to educate, inspire, and transform the community through art. Paul Richmond and Melissa Forman, accompanied by a complement of other fine artists who participate from around the world, are striving to create a vibrant and inclusive multicultural arts center, offering low and no-cost classes, workshops, and events for the community.
“We were trying to figure out a way to continue Linda Regula’s legacy,” said Forman, “to build it into something bigger that might fill the void in her absence. So many people are grieving and feeling so separate these days. We wanted to find a way to bring ourselves and others together. Art has always been the thing to do that.”
