Mission Statement
Projectile Arts is a non-profit (501c3) organization dedicated to
fostering dialogue between different cultures and communities through
the arts, with an emphasis on experience rather than analysis.
Productions focus on education through entertainment and creative
expression, using art as a tool for communication and understanding in
a variety of media. We collaborate with promising young artists and
producers, often immersing them in unfamiliar worlds where they can
gain new inspiration for their work and interact directly in the
environment to share their experiences through their respective
disciplines.
Art is the most effective means of experiencing the lives of those in
unfamiliar environments. Works of art strike a common human chord
that is intuitive and independent of language or logic, which can vary
dramatically from one place to another, from one mind to another. We
recognize this intuitive bond and seek to use it as a medium for
education and communication. In this way, people can better grasp the
passions and concerns of others, reducing the cause for conflict among
individuals and communities alike.
Introduction
Projectile Arts was founded on the belief that the nonprofit art and
community organization of the future must focus on expanding the
cultural dialogue of the community in which it acts. Cultural
dialogue is not limited in its mediums, forms or expressions- it is
simply art and community activities that inspire and promote
understanding between individuals and communities. By collaborating
with artists throughout the life of every project, Projectile Arts is
able to create unique and compelling multiple purpose content that
demonstrates that a more inclusive world is possible if the rhetoric
of difference is abandoned and replaced by the intuitive understanding
that we are all partners in our community. Entertaining, educational
and vibrant, Projectile Arts strives to connect artists and students
of all expressive media to collaborate and create from the palette of
life that is set before us all.
