MANIFESTO
Sining Shelter strives to be a place where creativity, expression, and community can flourish.
Creativity is creation. We believe art to be rooted in creating and building, the act of making, opposite to destruction. All creativity arises from the human urge to make things.
Expression is communication. We believe art to be rooted in thought and feeling, the act of reflection, opposite to ignorance. Whether the expression is significant, self-serious, or silly, it is all important.
Community is connection. We believe art to be rooted in relationships and sharing, the act of cooperation, opposite to isolation. Art will always involve some sort of social interaction in the process.
The meaning of the word "place", however, is not just the physical location of 4183 Sun Valley Drive. It also is the people who call it home. If you care about art, we welcome you to call Sining Shelter home as well.
