VISION AND VALUES

 

Our vision and values guide our actions:

  • Respect – We care for the works in our collection, artistic expression, the land and environment, and the people we serve.
     
  • Collaboration - Through partnerships with artists, scholars, community members, and institutions, we ensure that our collective work reflects diverse perspectives, input, and expertise.
     
  • Engagement and Education – Through exhibitions; family, student, and public programs; and studio art classes, we cultivate creativity and personal expression, and spark critical conversations and learning for people of all ages and abilities.
     
  • Inclusion – We strive to create an accessible and welcoming environment that fosters open dialogue and empathy for all.
