Our Vision

We are recognized as the trusted leader in advancing the arts and culture throughout St. Lucie County.

 

Our Values

Excellence:  We hold ourselves to the highest standards, ensuring we are excellent stewards to our members and to the communities we serve.

 

Creativity:  We actively seek new and innovative ways to serve our community through the arts.

 

Education:  We will educate the public and private sectors on the importance of arts and culture to the core of our well-being.

 

Collaboration:  We serve as a catalyst to convene and connect the arts, individuals, businesses, county municipalities/cities, and other organizations.

 

Integrity:  We treat all stakeholders with respect and fairness.

 

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:  We respect the power of the arts to help us embrace the diversity of thought, belief, and background.

In the best and most vital communities, arts and culture are abundant, accessible, and diverse, and serve as a catalyst to generate economic impact, stimulate business development, spur urban renewal, attract tourists and area residents to community activities, and improve the overall quality of life.

 

A group of dedicated individuals striving to make a difference in the lives of our community is powerful.

Get involved.

  • Build collaborations and cooperative models

    — to benefit all

Sector Sustainability

The arts are a catalyst, contributing economically to the well-being of our community.

Through ongoing research we will work to develop a significant evidence base with the goal of increasing broad public and private support for arts and culture.

Supporting the cultural sector by:

  • Illustrating the cultural sector’s economic contribution, value and impact
  • Advancing robust advocacy at local and state levels
  • Connecting the dots with individuals, corporations and foundations

Education

Committed partner to local schools and community organizations, with the expertise to channel existing resources within the arts sector for the benefit of students, families and educators.

According to the DOE, students with high levels of arts participation outperform arts-poor students on virtually every measure. Young people who participate in the arts for at least three hours on three days each week through for at least one full year are:

  • 4X more likely to be recognized for academic achievement
  • 3X more likely to be elected to class office within their schools
  • 4X more likely to participate in a math and science fair
  • 3X more likely to win an award for school attendance
  • 4X more likely to win an award for writing
