Mission Statement

Rhythmix Cultural Works is dedicated to building a strong, healthy community, beginning with our diverse cultural arts and educational programming. Our mission is to bring people of all ages together to experience and explore music, dance, visual art and educational opportunities. The organization seeks to build community by inspiring engagement in the arts as a way to learn about each other and the world. With a strong commitment to provide programming relevant to the local population, Rhythmix strives to promote cultural awareness, encourage participation in the arts, and support artists in the presentation of their work. Rhythmix has served over 150,000 visitors who contribute to the wellbeing of the local economy, raise Alameda's visibility as a prime destination for the arts, and help make the city a place where people can be proud to live, work and play.
