Allows individual communities to find their voice and give it public expression We remain firmly committed to our values as socially responsible art makers. Our vision has come of age.
Art is for everyone, regardless of their status in our society.
Distinctions between high and low art, fine and folk, are false. Innovation is important only while nurturing the significant traditions in which various ethnic groups preserve their cultures. Art should not dwell only in rarefied halls but in the places where people live and work. Process, not only the product, is the measure of the value of an art work. All Americans can be participants in the making of art through collaborative processes.
