"Placemaking is the way all of us as human beings transform the places in which we find ourselves into places in which we live."
From "Placemaking", by Lynda Schneekloth and Robert Shibley, published by John Wiley & Sons, 1995

- Developing arts and cultural projects that explore our humanity;
- Developing arts and cultural projects that explore our shared vision on quality of life;
- Developing arts and cultural programs that contribute to the promotion of health and social support.
