Our Mission

To enrich our community through the arts.

Our vision

Our community thrives from public support for creativity and the arts. To that end, we envision a community in which:

All lives are enriched by access to and participation in a diverse spectrum of artists, arts, and cultural experiences
The arts are woven into the fabric of daily life—promoting civic engagement, encouraging collective problem solving, and building bridges across cultures
The arts enjoy strong, sustained public support
The arts ecosystem reflects contributions from all of the area's diverse populations
Students are provided with quality arts education so that they can reach their full potential, including advanced education
Creative industries are recognized as crucial to the economy
Public and private resources for the arts increase and are sustained to more effectively serve the people
Artistic contributions mark the long-term legacy of the community
