OUR VALUES

We continue to collaborate and learn from the richness of diverse artists and art forms from around the world. We cherish the vibrant contribution of artists from every culture and background and we strive to honour cultural heritage in our work. Together we aim to build an artistic space where everyone feels a sense of belonging. We are proud that our work contributes to the long-term sustainability of these very special art forms, nurturing our efforts to make conscious choices of materials and processes that are sensitive to our environment.

We do everything we can to support and nurture the sector in local and global communities that face unique challenges. As we evolve, we are intentional about bringing others along so that we can leave a legacy of skilled and diverse stewards who will protect and grow the art forms we love.

We invest wholeheartedly in fostering inclusive spaces where people with different  backgrounds can find and shape their own experience in Carnival arts.

We care about the relationships we build and work hard to create understanding between people with different views. We know that creativity is enlivened when we collaborate widely because diverse perspectives enrich our collective work. So, our door is open to everyone to create safe spaces underpinned by a sense of common humanity.

We honour the rich legacies of the past while nurturing their relevance for the future. Our work safeguards and revitalises the vibrant expressions of Carnival arts, ensuring their stories, techniques, and cultural significance are celebrated and passed on to future generations. By investing in sustainable practices and building a community of skilled artists and advocates, we create pathways for heritage to inspire, connect, and thrive within contemporary and diverse communities
