TPAC champions excellence in the performing arts and arts education, fosters support for our resident companies and community partners, and serves as an inclusive place for all to enjoy meaningful and relevant experiences that enrich lives and promote economic vitality.
We intentionally embrace and promote inclusion across every level of our organization, welcoming all people, programs, audience, and partners to reflect the increasingly rich diversity of our community. We openly address inequities as we work to change our own institution and strive to provide access to everyone along the continuum of human ability and experience.
TPAC readily recognizes that artistic excellence provides new insights of the world around us, leading us to question and appreciate what we have never experienced. Excellence in the arts occurs when an experience affects and changes us in novel ways, providing both fresh and relevant perspectives.
We strive to pioneer and implement new and creative ideas in our work, both on and off the stage. We recognize innovation inherently includes risk-taking and experimentation, but we remain steadfast to pursue new frontiers for TPAC with courage tempered by humility.
We foster thoughtful, respectful relationships between fellow board members, staff, patrons, resident companies, and community partners from all walks of life. We commit to honest communication, transparency, and trustworthy interactions. Moreover, we recognize the power of blending unique perspectives to spark new ideas and creativity that make TPAC a stronger institution.
We believe in developing an internal culture of service that encourages individual paths of direct impact and influence for our community’s development. We support an environment of professional development, information sharing, and diverse perspectives to provide staff and board members the resources for hands-on service to each other and our greater community.
