Our Mission

Our Mission

Immersive Art Collective (IAC) is founded on the belief that immersing in the creative process is a powerful catalyst for social change. We view immersive art as an empowering and transformative opportunity for individuals from diverse backgrounds; both audiences and creatives.

 

By bridging economic, racial, and social divisions, Immersive Art Collective's mission is to enrich individuals through arts workshops, essential resources, job opportunities, engaging community programs and events, and foster partnerships with youth and social service organizations. 
 
With a heavy focus on arts engagement with underserved communities and youth, our commitment is to provide a safe space for expression, build equity, instill purpose and healing through the arts. 

Diverisity, Equity & Inclusion

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.
