AT THE HEART OF ARTECHS MISSION IS OUR GOAL OF PROVIDING OUR COMMUNITY A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN EXPLORE AND EXPAND THE POSSIBILITIES OF THEIR IMAGINATION. THIS GOES BEYOND SIMPLY TEACHING THEM HOW TO CREATE ART. WE BELIEVE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF CREATIVITY. WE HAVE SEEN FIRST-HAND HOW EXPOSURE TO CREATIVITY IN AN ENCOURAGING AND SAFE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT HAS HELPED PEOPLE FIND THEIR VOICE AND PASSION. AS PEOPLE ARE EXPOSED TO ART AND THE CREATIVE PROCESS, IT BECOMES AN INTEGRAL PART OF THEIR LIVES. THESE EXPERIENCES WILL BE THE CATALYST TO A LIFETIME APPRECIATION OF AND A RESPECT FOR THEIR OWN CREATIVITY AND THE CREATIVITY OF OTHERS.
