Mission
SUMMIT ARTSPACE CONNECTS ARTISTS AND ARTIST-SERVING ORGANIZATIONS TO THE COMMUNITY AND TO THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO THRIVE PROFESSIONALLY, CREATIVELY, AND FINANCIALLY. ITS CORE VALUES OF CREATIVITY, COLLABORATION, AND COMMUNITY GUIDE THE CURRENT STRATEGIC PLAN, WHICH FOCUSES ON SIX KEY PRIORITY AREAS: 1) SUPPORTING ARTISTS AT ALL LEVELS OF THEIR CREATIVE JOURNEY, 2) ENCOURAGING PARTICIPATION IN THE ARTS THROUGH EDUCATION AND OUTREACH, 3) SERVING AS A VITAL CREATIVE RESOURCE FOR THE COMMUNITY, 4) INCREASING AWARENESS AND VISIBILITY THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY, 5) BUILDING FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH REVENUE GROWTH AND 6) DIVERSIFYING ARTISTS WE SERVE. ADDITIONALLY, SUMMIT ARTSPACE SEEKS TO BUILD PUBLIC AWARENESS CONCERNING THE VALUE OF ARTISTS AS CONTRIBUTORS TO OUR AREA'S CREATIVE ECONOMY, QUALITY OF LIFE, AND PLACE-MAKING FOR THOSE THAT LIVE, WORK OR GO TO SCHOOL IN SUMMIT AND CONTIGUOUS COUNTIES.
