Mission Statement

A mission statement for Art Curation at The Footlight with Rachel R. Adler :

• To optimally use this event space in the never-ending pursuit of personal meaning and entertainment.
• To inspire future craftsmanship of any kind to all that may pass for any reason.
• To bring a sense of comfort and instill a broader interest in furthering communal art.
• To bring together all who aspire to create and share their work with people who may not have otherwise had access to it.
• And finally, to have a safe space in the artist community for free expression unbound by race, sexuality, or gender.

We ask you to enter the space with a clear mind and heart in order to fully attempt to understand the creator’s point of view, and/or, to eventually be the one on the inspiring side in this area.

Welcome.
