Mission Statement
The mission of ART House 360 is to create access and inclusion to arts education and arts programs for our diverse, multigenerational community so that more people may experience greater wellness through the arts and to provide a multicultural co-workspace supporting individual artists, arts educators, and nonprofits. In order to do this work, we've renovated Verona's downtown 1917 schoolhouse at 401 West Verona Avenue; construction will be complete by the end of 2024. Your contribution will help OPEN the DOORS to the HOUSE as soon as Spring 2025!
About This Cause
More than a new artspace in Verona, ART House 360° is a movement for greater wellbeing, connection, and artistic expression through the arts. We're breaking down barriers, making ART House 360° a place where the ARTS bring us all together, regardless of age, culture, or ability. But it doesn’t stop there. Our 360° artistic ecosystem will bring the transformational superpowers of artists to the community through classes, workshops, exhibitions, performances, and events. By building partnerships with local schools, community groups, nonprofits and families, we establish win-win relationships that enable the ART House to provide greater wellness through the arts. Why Build this Community ARTS Space? Transformative Experiences through Arts Education Our partnerships enable a broad range of both traditional and alternative arts learning opportunities. Through storytelling, writing, art-making, theatre, music and dance, each ART House 360 teaching artist will bring their own unique approach and style to allow community participants to experience a rich interaction with the artist – as well as a deeper connection with those participating alongside one another – building much-needed connection and community with ART as the vehicle. We will make these experiences available regardless of financial barriers – and in a way that maintains dignity and builds trusting partnerships. Connection for the Health of our Community The U.S. Surgeon General reports that Americans are lonelier and more socially disconnected than ever. The burgeoning field of the neuroarts has revealed the profound impact of the arts on our psychological well-being, reducing stress levels, and improving overall physical, mental, and emotional wellness. Our House will provide relief from the mental health crisis that many are experiencing – and give our students opportunities for time away from screens to awaken creativity, connection, and confidence. Our intergenerational community will come together at the ART House 360 to participate in meaningful, thought-provoking, and inspiring experiences with others. The arts cannot just be for the privileged; AH360's mission is to partner with artists and organizations to make their offerings accessible. Innovative Art Creation The ART House 360 cultivates invention, risk-taking, collaboration, healing, and personal and professional growth in an inspiring space. We can’t wait for the community to experience these works! We envision a space where artists have stability, a place to call 'HOME.' By building an artistic ecosystem, we give artists a much-needed home base to thrive in their artistic work, opportunities to be financially successful by sharing costs and to create consistent income by having a permanent, affordable space. AH360 also provides more jobs in Dane County for artists, designers, and teaching artists through camps, workshops, and shows. Diversity and Equity We believe that diversity is a strength and that we are stronger as individuals and as a community when everyone has the opportunity to belong and succeed. We recognize that each person has different circumstances. Through the arts, we affirm our multiple and intersecting identities and facilitate connection across identities and cultures. We have put together a diverse leadership team and artistic collaborators by design. ART House 360 is a multi-generational space for each member of our diverse, multicultural community. Will you consider the ART House 360 in your end-of-year giving plans? Your investment will build a House that brings people together through the power of the arts. Imagine a place where storytelling, art-making, dancing, and music bring us together, offer relief from daily stress, and foster joy, conversation, collaboration, and love. To make this dream a reality, we need your support. Learn more at ARThouse360.com.
