At the core of our vision is the belief that art can transform the lives of those touched by it. To this end, we aim to combine high-quality performances, artist residencies, and arts education in a multi-faceted program that will deliver broad impact to our community. For the future, we are focusing our energies on growing the programming we present, and on expanding the partnerships we develop with other arts organizations.
