Purpose: 

To nurture the youth who are willing to stay present, take creative risks, and lean into the unknown.

 

Vision: 

​To become the birthplace of a new wave of talent - bold, raw, and rooted in the Midwest. A place where truth matters, the work is real, and tomorrow’s most exciting voices begin their journey.
