  • Educate the public about the function of Creative Arts Therapies.
  • Create space where consumers and providers work together in a nurturing environment and develop integrative, supportive, sustainable community for consumers to continue their personal and artistic growth.
  • Continue to promote creative arts therapies as healing arts in the community.
  • Continue to offer a venue for consumers and providers to exhibit and showcase Creative Arts Therapy modalities in a festival or gallery setting.
