Our mission is to enable a rich and diverse range of people to preserve, pass on, and celebrate their cultural and artistic expression.
Priority is given to projects that increase artistic participation in and showcase the cultural life of communities while enriching the lives of individuals.
We are committed to sharing these expressions through public programming in the forms of symposia, lectures, exhibitions, performances and workshops...
...bringing historical and current research to broad and diverse audiences.
These are among the principal ways in which the organization also fulfills its goals of joining scholarship and artistic expressions.
