Vision Statement:

How we see things 3+ years down the road

We are an organization guided by quality. We have developed a strategic plan that guides our work and allows us to be less reactive to everything that comes along. Our customer is the center of the work that we do: we listen and respond to the needs of that customer in our quest to meet our mission. We treat customers as if they are our best friends: We talk with them. We listen to them. We respond to what they tell us. We have developed a positive working relationship with the Friends of the Arts. We work cooperatively with them to increase area support for all arts activities.

We believe the arts are for all. We offer a continuous series of visual and performing art experiences for both the novice and the more seasoned arts patron. We seek constantly to improve and expand our offerings. We are becoming a partner in the arts with the Kennedy Center which connects the arts to the school curriculum and enhances teachers' professional development opportunities.

We continue to work on plans for our facility and will take strategic action on those plans in order to meet the needs of our customers. We work to maintain positive relationships with our city, our county, our business community and our patrons while focusing on bringing the arts to life for all.
