Springfield Arts
Council
Statement of Artistic Purpose |
| The Springfield Arts Council has been
charged with developing and presenting a broad program of high quality arts
activities. Its mission, adopted in 1998, is to "build a better community by
sharing the performing arts with all citizens of the Springfield and Clark
County community." In doing so, it should consider these artistic goals:
|
- To present those professional and
non-professional artists, presentations, and activities that represent the
highest quality that is available.
- To present and preserve existing arts
programs.
- To aid, where possible, innovative
programs that need not be related to established arts organizations and
may be more experimental in nature.
- To strive to provide the best performance
environment for the performer and the viewer (acoustic, seating, stage,
etc.).
- To encourage professional arts management
at all levels.
- To share the arts with the greatest number
of people regardless of race, gender, color, religion, national origin, or
disability.
- To be inclusive of multi-cultural arts and
other developing programs.
- In addition to providing programming for
the larger community market, to encourage and present programs that appeal
to smaller markets of the community (i.e., chamber music, opera, etc.).
- To provide supplemental arts education to
the students of our community to enhance their appreciation of the artist
at work.
- To always be willing to stretch into new
and unexplored areas in terms of programming, funding and management.
(Adopted September 1998)
