Our Mission
The Annual Christmas Arts & Crafts Fair and Extravaganza is the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri’s biggest annual fundraiser, and allows us to enact our mission across the SEMO region. Educating the public about the arts is something that the Arts Council of Southeast Missouri believes is an important part of creating a sustainable artistic community. We strive to do this in many ways:
- Hosting free monthly programs at our gallery, including exhibitions, classes, demonstrations, lectures, and Q & A sessions with locals who are involved with the arts in various capacities, across many disciplines.
- Partnering with local schools and community organizations who provide for the needs of under-served and under-resourced youth to provide arts education programming.
- Partnering with local organizations like the VA and Blue Sky Community Center to provide meaningful multidisciplinary arts education programming for veterans and persons with disabilities.
- Keeping our members, patrons, and community-members informed about workshops and opportunities for continuing their education in the arts.
- Developing meaningful partnerships with artists and arts organizations across the SEMO region to develop programming that is responsive to the needs expressed by communities.
