MISSION:
With creativity at the center of everything we do, SkyART provides free, safe, open spaces where people are empowered and connections are made. VISION:
All youth, regardless of their economic status or Geographical location, have access to free, safe, nurturing, open spaces to create and participate in quality arts programming. Our work is guided by these core concepts:
(A)ccessibility –
we remove barriers – promoting participation in our programs, connection with other institutions and communities, and access to the broader world. (R)esponsiveness – we innovate – adapting programs to the evolving context within which we work, fostering civic engagement, cultural democracy, and social wellbeing. (T)otality – we are committed to reaching the whole person – recognizing that every participant has a unique life experience characterized by their own needs, assets, and interests. (S)tability – we are a consistent presence – the “third place” after home and school, where participants develop meaningful relationships and experience a feeling of extended family.
