Mission Statement
Green Circle Arts & Academics brings artists and scholars together at the intersection of creativity and logic, creating shared spaces for collaboration, co‑creation, and thematic exploration. At the same time, we highlight the juxtaposition of these communities by presenting artistic works and academic research side‑by‑side, honoring the distinct strengths each brings. Through this blend of overlap and contrast, we foster new voices, fresh perspectives, and meaningful dialogue across a wide range of topics.
Purpose Statement
Green Circle Arts & Academics exists to unite creative and intellectual ways of understanding the world. Our purpose is to nurture a community where imagination, inquiry, and expression are valued equally, and where both artists and scholars can contribute their unique ways of seeing to a shared cultural conversation.
