MISSION:

Art as Activism! Art as Education! The mission of the Arete Living Arts Foundation is to create art works and support artists whose work inspires personal, political, or spiritual awakening, and to use art as a medium to stimulate personal transformation, and effect social change.

EXPANDED MISSION:

1 - To create art works in a variety of mediums that are innovative in form and/or carry a positive social message or present a unique and original vision

2 - To support economically disadvantaged emerging artists who are dedicated to those goals through training & education, career guidance & support, and by providing positive work experience.

3 - To bring arts to areas and cultures that do not have access, with a focus on rural areas and small town that have limited access to non-corporate media outlets, alternative viewpoints, and progressive ideas.
