Best Practice.Art facilitators utilize a minimal touch philosophy, meaning facilitators only touch participants' artwork when it is necessitated by the needs of the individual artist. Facilitators are always present to assist artists, though their aim is to encourage artists to create independently in order to promote their own personal growth.

Accessibility.Artists First accepts all participants regardless of age, gender, ability, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity. Our culture is one of inclusion, from program development to program implementation, intentionally targeting disenfranchised individuals and taking steps to ensure participation, including reduced fees and scholarships. We are aware of, and proactive in, fostering equity, equality, and inclusiveness.

Artists First promotes equity and equality through creative self-expression. Our programs provide artistic and economic opportunities, foster self-sufficiency, and promote cultural and artistic enrichment in the community. |
Acceptance. Respect. Trust.
