Mission

OUR MISSION: CREATE AND DISCOVER BEAUTY TO FOSTER A COMMUNITY EMPOWERED BY THE ARTS. THIS REFLECTS OUR HIGHEST ASPIRATIONS FOR OUR ORGANIZATION AS WE STRIVE FOR ARTISTIC EXCELLENCE AND REPRESENTS THE PEDAGOGICAL PRINCIPAL IN ALL OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS AND PERFORMANCES. WE USE THIS STATEMENT PROVOCATIVELY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE WORD BEAUTY IS A SUBJECTIVE CONCEPT. YET WE SEE BEAUTY IN MUCH MORE THAN THE ART ITSELF. WE SEE BEAUTY IN THE PROCESS OF CREATION AND DISCOVERY. WE SEE BEAUTY WHEN A CHILD LEARNS HOW TO MAKE THEIR FIRST SOUND ON A FLUTE OR PAINTS THEIR FIRST PICTURE. WE SEE BEAUTY WHEN A PREVIOUSLY SHY STUDENT CAN DELIVER THEIR FIRST LINES ON STAGE. WE SEE BEAUTY WHEN A CHILD STRUGGLING WITH EMOTIONAL OR COMMUNICATION CHALLENGES CAN POSITIVELY EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND WHAT THEY FEEL THROUGH MUSIC OR ART THERAPY. WE SEE BEAUTY IN THE INSPIRATION OUR STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PERFORMERS, AND CLIENTS PROVIDE AND THE ASPIRATIONS THEY HOLD ONTO FIRMLY. WE SEE BEAUTY IN EVERYONE AND THE POTE
