We seek to empower everyone to create and share, transforming our communities and our society through participation and creativity. Our mission is to create participatory and inclusive cultural events and experiences that build community and inspire personal and social transformation. We believe fundamentally that every human being is equally important, and that a just society is one that makes room for the participation and expression of everyone. In order to create a world in which this is possible, we have adopted eleven founding principles that summarize our values: Participation, Decommodification, Inclusion, Expression, Self-Reliance, Giving, Communal Effort, Civic Responsibility, Leave No Trace, Immediacy, and Gratitude.
