Our Mission

 Our mission is to celebrate the power of art to transform, connect, and elevate the human experience.

We provide opportunities for community members, students, artists and audiences to enrich their lives through participation and offer a platform for exceptional artists to develop exciting new works that expand the limits of their creativity.

We also believe the arts are a device for empathy that makes better people and heals social and cultural divides. By fostering a spirit of inclusivity, AFF aims to make the arts accessible to all and nurtur the next generation of creative talent. We offer collaborators and audiences experiences that are fresh, daring, and thought-provoking, inspiring us to make a positive contribution to our communities. 

We offer our  artists-in-residence the opportunity to test new works in a creative safe haven, providing  a catalyst for future success.
