Fire Mountain Arts Council Mission
Goals
- Present theatre, movies, music, and other arts events.
- Foster arts education for our youth.
- Create an environment that nurtures local talent.
- Feature our regional character.
- Provide venues for the arts.
- Stimulate economic growth.
Inclusion Statement
We believe in our community, and everyone is welcome at the Roxy Theater.
As active members of the theatre community, we value inclusion, diversity, and equity.
Theatre uses its art as a way to address profound truths and examine the human condition. We stand with the people of this community in solidarity for the rights of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) to be heard and treated with respect and dignity, and we will continue to uphold these principles.
As an organization, we are always learning; may we use these lessons to overcome our divisions and come together to enrich our community life through the arts using kindness, thoughtfulness, and love.
