Community@R2arts

Dear Neighbors in and around the R2Arts, including our friends in the Indigenous sovereign nations and across the border in Canada:

We stand with all the communities we serve. We deeply value the arts as a powerful force for building a stronger, more connected community for everyone.

We recognize the incredible contributions of the Indigenous sovereign nations within and surrounding the Region 2 area, and we honor their rich artistic traditions and their inherent sovereignty. We are committed to supporting initiatives that amplify Indigenous voices and celebrate their diverse artistic expressions, ensuring respect for their cultures and self-determination.

We also value the connections we share with our Canadian neighbors and recognize the importance of cross-border arts collaboration for a thriving regional community.
