We Believe

  • Experiences in the arts enhance personal growth, increase educational achievement, and enable career success
  • The arts are a universal and essential language that challenge people to respond to the world, look beyond themselves, and celebrate diversity by building bridges between people, across cultures and through generations
  • Participation in the arts by individuals with disabilities promotes acceptance and inclusion in all aspects of life.
