Mission, Vision + Values

We are artists, designers, experimenters, thinkers, educators and leaders advancing the critical role of art and design education in a complex and changing world.

We are committed to using the transformative power of art and design to address the challenges of our time, to imagine new ways of being that we didn’t know were possible and to catalyze personal, social and cultural change.

A better world through art + design.

We inspire and prepare the next generation of artists, designers and creative thinkers, to make meaningful change in the world, through innovative, practice-based art and design education.

Leading through Practice

We are change agents – moving beyond the theoretical to engage with the broader social and cultural world.

Innovating through Collaboration

We work with others to co-create, explore, discover, innovate and make change.

Learning with Curiosity

We inquire, listen, reflect and adapt.

Relating with Care

We embrace diversity in all its forms and we treat each other and ourselves, with compassion and care.
