Vision
To be a vital partner in the educational, creative, and cultural life of our communities as an innovative leader in local, regional, and national visual arts.
We believe:
- in the value of the visual arts as integral to a holistic education;
- art connects to every subject, discipline, and stage of life;
- in the importance of direct engagement with viewing and making original works of art to better understand the role of the artist and the creative process;
- in the power of visual arts to transform the lives of individuals and the community;
- the visual arts can build tolerance, compassion, and understanding among people and a strong, diverse community;
- art is an essential component of human existence and a form of communication to which everyone should have access;
- visual arts can bring people together for a respectful dialogue about topics and issues of importance in our lives;
- visual arts must be valued, preserved, shared, and experienced to ensure their continual existence for future generations; and
- the world is better with visual arts.
