Our Core Values

We believe in the transformative power of creativity and the arts to enrich lives, spark personal growth, and drive change. We are dedicated to providing opportunities for individuals of all backgrounds to explore, develop, and express their unique artistic voices.

We celebrate diversity in all its forms and work to ensure that the arts are accessible to everyone. We believe that all people, regardless of age, background, or ability, should have the opportunity to experience, create, and benefit from artistic expression. We seek to amplify voices that are often underrepresented and create spaces where all individuals feel welcome and valued.

We are dedicated to using the arts as a catalyst for social change, raising awareness of critical social issues and advocating for justice, equity, and inclusivity. We believe that art can inspire action, challenge the status quo, and empower individuals to contribute to a more just and compassionate society.

We believe that the arts provide a unique path to healing, personal growth, and emotional well-being. Through creative expression, individuals can process their experiences, build resilience, and engage in collective healing that strengthens both individuals and communities.

We hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability in all that we do. We are committed to ethical practices, responsible stewardship of resources, and maintaining trust with our communities and partners.

We are committed to integrating social-emotional learning (SEL) with artistic practice. We strive to nurture emotional intelligence, resilience, empathy, and self-awareness, enabling individuals to better understand themselves and others, and to engage in the world with compassion and confidence.

We recognize the arts as a powerful tool for building community, fostering connection, and strengthening collective well-being. Through collaboration, shared creative experiences, and public art initiatives, we work to cultivate a sense of belonging, pride, and solidarity within and between communities.

We value the power of working together—whether through partnerships, co-creation, or community-driven projects. By joining forces with diverse individuals and organizations, we maximize our impact and create more meaningful, sustainable change.

We embrace innovation and encourage continuous learning. We are committed to evolving with the changing needs of our communities, exploring new methods and ideas, and fostering a culture of curiosity and growth for both participants and practitioners alike.

We believe that the arts should be a source of joy, celebration, and inspiration. We seek to create experiences that uplift, energize, and bring people together in a shared appreciation for the beauty and power of creative expression.
