Our mission is to support emerging artists through seminars, networking, screenings and events as well as offering assistance to artists seeking grant funding to develop and present their works.We believe art and culture are essential to the individual, the community, and the world. Art, in all its forms, is a universal form of human communication, a basic and essential component of free expression. The interaction between artist and audience is indispensable to the mind and spirit. We believe that art is a universal language which unites all people. For society to flourish, we must have artistic diversity and inclusiveness. By embracing all human experience, seeing our commonalities and honoring our differences, we strengthen society and the world.
