Strengthening the long term financial viability of the Bemidji area arts community.

- The arts are a vehicle through which we understand and respect each other, our environment, and ourselves.
- The active presence of the arts in a community is an indicator of a healthy community
- The integration of artists into the working life of a community suggests the likelihood of creative problem solving on a civic level.
- The arts help our community to transcend barriers.
- The arts are a positive economic force in our community.
