Mission
Statement
The WCB Arts
Foundation Inc. is a 501 c 3 California nonprofit
corporation, headquartered in Santa Monica, California.
Our goal is to promote the benefits of watching and of
understanding dance to the public at large. Thus, dance
and her sister arts are a focus of the WCB Arts
Foundation, Inc. We produce dance performance, seeking
out new and experimental work by emerging artists in
order to help nurture the future of dance. We also
sponsor educational activities such as dance classes
and lecture-demonstrations.
Community outreach is a primary goal of the Foundation
as we seek to provide opportunities for people who
would not ordinarily have the chance to participate in
dance classes or to see dance performed. To these ends
our organization will offer dance classes,
lecture-demonstrations and performances free to
community organizations and to the schools.
Providing a living wage to working artists is a
fundamental goal of the Foundation. Artists working in
association with the Foundation should expect to be
paid commensurate with their experience and ability, as
respected, functioning members of society.
