Our Vision
- Jumbo will be a place to gather, listen, learn and share ideas through art, music, performance,
creativity and conversation. - Jumbo will be international in core and concept, but feel like a local, welcome place for all.
- Jumbo will provide a place to celebrate the holidays of every culture; exhibit fine art and handmade crafts from local, national, and international artists and have public education programs for children and adults in the creative arts.
- Jumbo will offer dynamic and constantly evolving programs and activities.
- Jumbo will provide enriching creative experiences in an environment ideally suited to community-based art development and performance engaging community stakeholders and stimulating socio-economic growth.
- Wherever Jumbo brings its activities, the community will benefit from Jumbo’s vision.
Jumbo Arts International began as a concept many years ago ...
and in December of 2012, we became a federally recognized 501c3 non-profit organization
dedicated to Arts, Music and Creativity locally, nationally and internationally.
Our programming and publications are for the people of our region and beyond.
We are fostering open, enlightened conversations wherever we go.
Art and music programs, evening poetry slams, international cultural events
reach across the globe to friends and colleagues.
We offer opportunities for interaction among young and old.
Our programming promotes the well-being of adults with intellectual and
developmental disabilities through art, music and creative activities.
Our future is bright! As a non-profit Jumbo Arts International's work is officially underway to
create spaces for learning and sharing. Our 501c3 status means that donations and gifts to
Jumbo Arts International are tax deductible. Please donate today!
