WHO WE ARE

Principles for Our Foundation

Arts for Change

  • We believe the arts bring us closer to ourselves and each other, serving as a vital tool for coping and caring during crises. 

  • Through artistic expression and experiences, we can foster healing and resilience within our communities.

​

Collaboration

  • We believe in the strength of collective action. 

  • Together we are stronger; together we discover new ideas, share skills, and push boundaries, propelling us further than we could go alone.

​

Culture of Care

  • We are committed to cultivating a safe, equitable, and inclusive environment for everyone we engage with. 

  • We recognize that a culture of care is fundamental for fostering trust and collaboration.

​

Growth through Conflict

  • We view challenges as opportunities for growth. 

  • By accepting that conflict is inevitable in any collaboration; we embrace it; using it as a means for empowering us to deepen connections and face difficult interactions with kindness.  This allows us to emerge stronger and more united.

 

Embracing Diversity

  • We strive for equity in all our practices, supporting more access and opportunities to the resources people need. 

  • Inclusion is at the heart of our work, as we create spaces where all voices are valued and heard. 

 

Democratic Engagement

  • We believe in the power of democratic processes to shape our artistic initiatives. 

  • By encouraging active participation and co-creation, we invite communities to critically think about how they can influence the cultural landscape and advocate for change.
