Web Link The Cultural Arts Coaltion
The Mission of the Cultural Arts Coalition, Arizona:
Identifying, supporting, promoting, celebrating, and documenting those community arts practices that stimulate social awareness and honor diverse cultural values, and develop the critical thinking skills necessary to be creative and solve problems. As a networking group, the coalition strives to provide a safe place for persons of all ages and backgrounds to gather and achieve a sense of belonging and respect within a larger community and to explore arts-related skills in a facilitated environment.
# The Goals of the Cultural Arts Coalition are to: Provide spaces and opportunities for persons to engage in dialogue, experiences, and research that expand the definition and understanding of the role of the arts in enriching our daily lives in community and academic settings.
# Examine and explore "guiding arts practices" of programming that meet the needs of an integrated community.
# Celebrate and feature projects and programs at regular meetings as well as larger, community focused forums. Our intent is to help others, whether children, teens, people of middle age or older adults, to use the arts as a mean by which they can explore "the human condition" (including her or his own condition) in and through time.
# Document and publish methods and examples of successful cultural arts delivery in academic and community settings.
# Generate connections across an expanding network of individuals and groups who embrace the mission and goals of the Cultural Arts Coalition. |
