"Uniting Our Communities by Ensuring Equitable Access to the Arts" means weve seen the benefit of, and heard the call for, igniting the spirit of togetherness in the Greater Portland Metro communities and we answer this call by advocating for fair and inclusive opportunities in the arts. Our mission symbolizes not merely a gathering of souls, but a harmonious blending of unique stories and dreams. Especially focused on Black & Indigenous People of Color, equity transcends equality's uniformity, blossoming instead into a bespoke nurturing of each individual's artistic flame. We tailor our resources, opportunities, and support with a keen sensitivity, ensuring that every person, irrespective of their starting point, is given the wings to soar equally high.
