OUR MISSION is to actively work OF, BY, and FOR our community:

Our FUNDAMENTAL VALUES are:
- Art is GOOD: Art in all forms has value.
- Inclusiveness: Everyone should have the opportunity to be involved in the arts
- Well-Being: Participating in the arts is essential to a happy and healthy community for us all.
- Te Tiriti o Waitangi: Earnest and meaningful relationships with mana whenua and tangata whenua.
- Partnerships: We are part of a wider local, regional, and national community. Working together with others gets the best results for our community.
- Relevance: Change, innovation, and the courage to try new things, are vital to creativity.
- Sustainability: Creatives need opportunities to work, be paid, practice, support themselves, and contribute to local economy.
