RONALD

Ronald is the mascot of the Creative Catalyst Foundation.
New York, 1930
Ronald was on the streets. Times were tough during the Great Monochromatic. Ronald was doing his best to uplift his New York community's spirits by implanting his art into The Met. However, he had to do it undercover so authorities would not identify him and take his artwork from the people. So he worked in the shadow of the night and wore tutus to disguise himself. However, one time when he was in the middle of an installation, he tripped an alarm at the museum and triggered a trap. A bucket of permanent pink paint spilled from the ceiling and splattered all over him, dyeing his fur permanently pink. He left in a hurry, but he was quickly apprehended by the authorities because his newly pink fur blew his cover. He had to go to trial, and the judge sentenced him to lifetime community hours for Art Implantation. Since then, he has been reworking the purposes of his talents to aid the public with his art in a government-approved way.
You can still see some of his pieces in the hidden corners of The Met under the pseudonym, 'Pablo Pinkasso'.
Join the Creative Catalyst Foundation to work beside this legend!
Ronald’s story reminds us that art has the power to break through difficult times, bring people together, and spark joy in unexpected places. His pink fur is a symbol of creativity, resilience, and using art to serve the community. At the Creative Catalyst Foundation, we carry that same mission forward by making art accessible and meaningful for all, especially those who might not otherwise have the chance to explore their creative side.
