Mission

We envision a community involved in the arts.

Our mission is to promote artists, art education, and innovation in art.

We believe arts can be a vehicle to spark conversations and spur social change. Each culture’s art contributes to the richness of our community and can enhance awareness through the sharing of individual experiences.
