Mission & Vision

The Cultural Agents Initiative’s mission is to activate art as a social resource by fostering creative and scholarly practices that make measurable contributions to the education and development of communities worldwide. We advance our mission by identifying creative agents of change, reflecting on best practices, and inspiring their replication in underserved communities through training, research, and public forums. We value creativity as vital to the health of democracies and are committed to developing moral imagination and resourcefulness in citizens.
