Here, creativity, collaboration, and passion are valued and essential. Whether on stage, in a classroom, in the office, or out in the community, our team is united by a shared commitment to making the arts accessible and impactful.
The Foundation's culture is based on camaraderie, connection, and a deep appreciation for the work we do. From staff events to attending complimentary performances, we have fun too!

All Are Welcome, All Belong
We recognize and value the intrinsic power of the arts, music, and nature to connect people of all abilities, backgrounds, and experiences. In our workplace and on our stages, we are committed to curating spaces of inclusivity and creativity so that our workforce thrives, our patrons find joy, and the surrounding community benefits.
To ensure that the Foundation is welcoming and inclusive of all, we will:
- Showcase artists and works that authentically reflect and celebrate diverse voices and perspectives;
- Reduce physical, financial, and societal barriers to access so that all community members are welcomed and supported;
- Listen, learn, and adapt to remain relevant to and respectful of a changing world.
