We believe in the powerful impact of our collective wisdom and creativity to create long-term societal change. 

We strive to create a world where artists and their creativity are recognized and valued as essential to community vitality and problem solving. We challenge the notion of “Art for Art’s Sake.”

We believe that strong collaborations based on values of accountability, clear communication, patience and integrity are necessary for long term impact.

We are intentional about co-creating compassionate, honest, and courageous spaces that are shaped by diverse identities, geographies, perspectives, experiences and abilities. 

We support the development of leaders who are intentional in challenging and disrupting oppressive systems locally and globally. We approach our work together with commitment to struggle and commitment to moving conversations into action.

We think and act for the well being of ourselves and one another, our families and communities, the land, and future generations.
