Our Values & Guiding Principles:
A healthy and thriving arts community is an integral part of a thriving city. To retain our artists and to cultivate and support our arts community we must provide them with the opportunity to flourish and prosper. Prosperous arts communities create social and economic opportunities and allow artists to remain in the area and attract lovers of the arts to our community. To that end NAS believes we must:
• Respect – Respect all forms of art and artists within the community.
• Advocacy – Work on behalf of the community, participants, volunteers & organizations.
• Cooperation & Collaboration – Work together in the spirit of cooperation.
• Build a Legacy – Build a Legacy within the arts and cultural community that will continue to thrive and grow through the years for the enjoyment of all.
Our Goals:
1. Partnering with individuals and organizations from across the Niagara Region and around the world.
2. Focus on events, festivals and the establishment and maintenance of a venue or venues to showcase the arts community in Niagara Falls and the NAS itself within and without Niagara Falls for the benefit of its residents and the visitors to the city who come to Niagara Falls from all over the world.
3. Ensure artists are respected, appreciated and compensated for their work
