Our Values

• We believe that artists, art, and art-making affirm and reflect upon our humanity in indispensable ways. 

• We believe gathering together, in-person, to activate critical dialogue and creative exchange will inspire, empower, and enable our individual and collective transformation. 

• We value inquiry, reflection, experimentation, and not knowing, alongside craft, rigor, discipline, depth, and intentionality.

• We value inclusive, inviting spaces that involve people of all backgrounds. We think diverse beliefs, opinions, and lived experiences play an active role in our programming.

• We believe in challenging the status quo, developing alternative approaches to hierarchical practices, and embodying anti-racist, anti-casteist, anti-ableist, anti-capitalist, and anti-elitist values.
