We join together as a group of artists to grow in our creative and professional pursuits, to build our skills and experiences as we support a place of creativity for all, as individuals and as a group. We embrace diversity in art practices of all, and any, genre. We embrace diversity as, and in, the individual as a human ‘being’ the best they can be, and do, on any given day. We employ a duty of care to all members where a respectful nonjudgmental encouraging space is at our foundation for being. We invest in opportunities to welcome a variety of practicing artists, technologies, and art workers to share their skills and knowledge with our members We actively promote our aims and pursuits as a group to our local community and beyond. We are brave in speaking out about art and disability issues. Nothing changes in silence.
