Education
East End Arts believes that its educational programs are the primary means of preparing artists, arts patrons, and the community to live life wholly and creatively through their experience with art in all its forms.
DIVERSITY STATEMENT
Diversity (the state or fact of being different) may be challenging in the more conventional areas of life, but in the arts being different is cherished, nourished and encouraged. East End Arts knows the diversity of our community is a fundamental strength of our region. We believe when diversity is embraced as a value and practice both the artist and the arts flourish. To make diversity a core and abiding strength is our immediate goal. East End Arts looks forward to welcoming, supporting, advocating for and inspiring new artists willing to explore their own diverse identities. It is our mission and our privilege.
