Mission Statement
Since 1976, our mission has been simple:
to ignite interest in the arts and nurture creative talent by stimulating and advancing culture and cultural activities for the public benefit.
We aim to foster artistic growth by promoting, developing, and facilitating appreciation, participation, and interaction across the visual and performing arts, crafts, literature, movable cultural heritage, and Indigenous and community arts.
Our goal is to encourage everyone to explore, connect, and take part in our creative community.
