ABOUT US
ArtsCentric, Inc. is an African-American arts organization; a color-conscious performing arts and arts services company committed to reexamining traditional roles in the arts; advancing original stories of specific cultures not represented in mainstream arts; and fostering educational advancement to strengthen the community through the power of theater by primarily serving members of the Black, African-American, and BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) communities. ArtsCentric's color-conscious approach to creating community-oriented and enriched educational and artistic programs in the arts asks every constituent to consider the whole person being presented—honoring and respectfully highlighting a multitude of diverse identifiers with great detail and intentionality.
ArtsCentric's mission and core activities address three problems: 1) racial inequity in the performing arts; 2) a lack of opportunities for low-to-moderate-income artists of all ages to receive professional training for performance, education, and administrative careers in the arts; 3) affordable access to the arts and cultural enrichment activities.
