Mission Statement

To support all aspects of the performing and visual arts.  Our vision is to preserve, promote and perpetuate the music which is indigenous to North America: blues, jazz, gospel and all genres which derive from our African American heritage.

To create a community of lifelong, independent learners in reading, writing and mathematics that will empower all participants with passion and a love of education.

With an active board of directors and advisory board that have varied professional artistic and administrative experience we will work diligently to facilitate these goals.
