Mission & Vision

Mission

Old Town Artisan Studios is committed to providing positive art experiences for all people regardless of age, ability, or financial condition. We believe art is healing and has an everlasting positive impact on each of us and the world around us.

VISION

We envision a Coachella Valley where art is a lasting and vibrant part of everyday life—from school-age programs to opportunities for lifelong learning. Art has an enduring and positive impact on individuals and communities, and we are committed to ensuring everyone has access to its transformative power.

At the heart of our work are our Outreach Programs, which bring meaningful art experiences to children and adults with special needs, seniors, veterans, and underserved populations. As some schools reduce their art offerings, we help bridge the gap through after-school instruction and community partnerships. Our unique Mobile Mission enables us to deliver art directly to those who may not otherwise have access, through collaborations with schools, senior centers, and local nonprofits.

Alongside these efforts, our studio offers classes, private instruction, and independent studio use for people of all ages and abilities. These programs not only serve the public but help fund and expand our outreach initiatives. Thanks to the generous support of cities, foundations, corporations, and individual donors, we continue to grow our impact and fulfill our vision: Shaping Hearts & Minds through Art.
