OUR MISSION & VISION

Our mission is to provide access to space, information, and quality arts/culture programs for our community. We stand at the intersection of art, culture, wellness, and organizing, and we act as a vehicle for elevating the intentions and actions of our residents.

Through community-led and community-oriented gatherings, events, and workshops, we envision growth and a sense of deep belonging for our neighbors that grows out of meaningful engagement in our community. We imagine an ever-growing pride in the resilient and diverse cultures that define the city we love.
