We didn’t talk about pipelines.
Or shot deadlines.
Or the latest plugin that everyone’s pretending they’ve mastered.

We talked about the food we miss.
The cities we left behind to chase this dream.

Some brought their families.
Others brought the kind of loneliness you only unpack when it feels safe.
Either way, no one had to explain themselves.

Because at Alpha Chromatica, you’re not just here to become a better artist.You’re here to become you, out loud, in color, and in good company.

When you build a school like this, you’re not just preparing students for jobs.You’re building a community that remembers your name, your friends, and the yummy wieners Asuha was grilling all day!

This was our first ever Family Day.

P.S. We took the group photo like we always do, after half of us had wandered off, gone home, or were still playing in the spray park.
