Mission statement

Its mission is to stimulate the creative process inherent in each individual through hands-on visual-arts education and to cultivate a lifelong aesthetic appreciation in people of all ages and backgrounds. This mission is realized through comprehensive studio art instruction and interaction with professional working artists, presentation of gallery exhibitions and related art activities that encourage art exploration, an extensive outreach program that services at-risk minority youth and seniors, and fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity and the preservation of our cultural heritage.[2]
