Greetings from the Fine Arts Association

MISSION

Our Mission is “To Create and Discover Beauty”

Our mission at The Fine Arts Association is “To Create and Discover Beauty.” This reflects our highest aspirations for our organization as we strive for artistic excellence and represents the pedagogical principal in all our educational programs and performances.

We use this statement provocatively understanding that beauty is a subjective concept. We see beauty in much more than the art itself.

• We see beauty in the process of creation and discovery. • We see beauty when a child learns how to make their first sound on a flute or paints their first picture. • We see beauty when a shy student delivers their first lines on stage. • We see beauty when a child struggling with emotional or communication challenges can positively express themselves and what they feel because of Music or Art Therapy. • We see beauty in the inspiration our students, teachers, therapists, performers, and clients provide and the aspirations they hold firmly. • We see beauty in everyone and the potential they have to inspire and be inspired. • We see beauty in art and in the humanity that creates art.

Our hope is that as each person creates and discovers beauty, they discover and affirm the beauty we share in our common humanity often found in the diverse talents we are bring, the skills we develop, and the rich cultural heritages we share.
