Applying educational, artistic, social marketing and community-building methods, we strive to:

• Support the establishment and rehabilitation of urban areas that are ecologically sustainable, healthy, safe, just and socially connected.

• Inspire and empower urban dwellers to make better choices in their lives which contribute to building healthier communities.

• Increase opportunities for citizens to engage with one another around community development issues.

• Serve as a think tank and clearinghouse around the use of the arts in building healthier communities.
