Mission Statement

ArtStream is a regional organization based in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan area whose mission is to create artistic opportunities for individuals in communities traditionally underserved by the arts.

ArtStream is a consortium of compassionate, professional, experienced artists who wish to serve the needs of our clients. Our goal is to reach out to members in various groups such as persons with disabilities, seniors, people with short or long term illnesses and their families or caregivers, immigrants, veterans, people who are grieving, and students and teachers.

Our purpose is to inspire and help heal through various art forms such as theatre, puppetry, visual arts, multimedia, music, and dance. This is accomplished through interactive workshops and productions, on-going classes, seminars, performances, and training.

About ArtStream

ArtStream was formed by a group of caring artists, passionate about the idea of taking arts programs into communities generally underserved by the arts. We believe that the transformative power of the arts should be available to everyone, especially those who are challenged by disabilities or life circumstances, to express their full humanity for their own growth and the benefit of those around them. More importantly, we are all experienced professionals who have seen the power of the arts at work in these settings, and are excited to spread the “magic”.

It is the fervent mission of the members of ArtStream to fill the gap in arts programming between what is currently being provided in these communities and what is needed.
