Our Mission
LUX Center for the Arts is dedicated to transforming lives through art. We are a community of art lovers providing education through art classes, artist in residency programs, gallery exhibitions, and community outreach. We believe the LUX can help people make meaningful connections to art regardless of who they are.
How we accomplish our mission:
- Facilitating opportunities for individual creativity and self-expression;
- providing stimulus for communication and critical thinking;
- encouraging open-mindedness and bridging differences by exploring cultural variety; and
- building artistic traditions within individuals, families, and the community.
