Our Mission

Our mission is to power community-led arts and culture by providing strategic guidance, operational support, and the resources needed for impact. We help creative visions become sustainable, community-serving realities.

Our Vision

We envision a world where community-rooted creativity is valued, funded, and empowered — where artists lead, local stories are preserved, and every neighborhood has the cultural infrastructure it deserves.

Our Core Values

1. Community Stewardship

We put community first — listening deeply, honoring lived experience, and building programs that reflect the people they serve.

2. Artistic Leadership

We believe artists are civic leaders. Their creativity, vision, and storytelling shape culture, inspire solutions, and strengthen democracy.

3. Equity & Access

We work to remove barriers so that BIPOC artists, small nonprofits, and under-resourced communities have real access to resources, opportunities, and power.

4. Collaboration & Partnership

We forge meaningful partnerships that amplify impact. Collaboration is not optional — it is the foundation of sustainable change.

5. Integrity & Accountability

We steward resources with transparency, responsibility, and care. Trust is our currency; accountability is our practice.

6. Innovation & Imagination

We embrace creative problem-solving. Our work combines strategy and artistry to build new systems that uplift cultural and community well-being.
