• in the importance of direct engagement with viewing and making original works of art to better understand the role of the artist and the creative process;

• in the power of visual arts to transform the lives of individuals and the community;

• the visual arts can build tolerance, compassion, and understanding among people and a strong, diverse community;

• art is an essential component of human existence and a form of communication to which everyone should have access;

• visual arts can bring people together for a respectful dialogue about topics and issues of importance in our lives;

• visual arts must be valued, preserved, shared, and experienced to ensure their continual existence for future generations; and

• the world is better with visual arts.
