Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide an experience that welcomes and encourages interactions between various cultures, generations and artistic disciplines in order to increase the participation, enjoyment and knowledge each may have with and of the others.

  1. • We believe that our future is with our children and youth, and, that the arts provide a means by which they may discover and develop their individual strengths.

  2. • We believe that visitors to our community - and our community itself - will benefit from experiences where they may encounter the various cultures of our area. We believe that our focus as a facility organization more than as a producing organization guarantees our community much more diversity in programming, and our various arts organizations wider audiences.

Description

We are a grassroots arts incubator and multi-use arts facility. We house two performance spaces, including a professionally equiped 100 seat theater, a music studio, dance studio, café and gallery space. Classes and programming are offered across several different art forms: visual arts, dance, music, theater, film, storytelling and spoken word

We work closely with several local festivals to provide performance and/or exhibition space. We work with established and emerging artists in the development of new collaborations and new works. We also serve as a meeting space for other area organizations and provide rehearsal space for groups utilizing our spaces. We work closely with local schools, taking programming into the schools and providing rehearsal and preformance space for their productions.
