Our Mission
Immersive Art Collective (IAC) believes in the transformative power of the creative process to drive social change. We see immersive art as a vital force that empowers individuals from all walks of life-whether they are artists or audiences-by providing opportunities for profound personal and communal growth.
​
Our mission is to bridge economic, racial, and social divides by enriching lives through a diverse array of arts workshops, essential resources, job opportunities, and dynamic community programs and events. We are committed to fostering strong partnerships with youth and social service organizations to extend our impact.
​
We believe that immersive and interactive learning is essential for youth development, as it ignites curiosity, fosters critical thinking, and nurtures creativity. By engaging youth in these hands-on, experiential learning opportunities, we equip them with the tools they need to navigate and shape their futures with confidence and purpose.
​
With a dedicated focus on engaging underserved communities and youth, we aim to create safe spaces for expression, build equity, and foster a sense of purpose and healing through the arts. At IAC, we believe in the power of art to not only reflect the world but to change it.
Diversity
Equity &
Inclusion
IAC strives to create and support arts programs, events, and initiatives rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion. We recognize the differences between people, understanding that diverse perspectives and experiences strengthen our community.
We strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone can feel respected, heard, and valued. We actively seek out new voices from underrepresented communities and prioritize creating equitable access to our programs and resources for all community members.
By valuing our differences, we create a welcoming space to explore and appreciate the power of art.​​
IAC recognizes our responsibility as an organization to challenge the systemic inequities that exist in our society and to take action to create an environment of belonging, respect, and inclusion.
We are committed to continually learning and engaging in dialogue with various perspectives to understand how to better foster creativity, equity, and collaboration within our local community.
We welcome passionate advocates who share our commitment to our mission of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the arts. We invite all members of our community to join us in this effort.
