Story Tapestries is an arts services nonprofit founded in 2010 as a 501c3. Since then, we have engaged well over 1 million people in meaningful and transformative arts experiences. Our mission is to use the arts as a powerful tool to create accessible, open spaces and opportunities for individuals to reach their highest potential and to work together for a more inclusive community.
Story Tapestries accomplishes this by:
- providing innovative, custom-designed performances, workshops and hands-on community and educational experiences;
- designing programs that develop skills, connect individuals, elevate diverse voices and celebrate youth, families, adults, and seniors; and
- engaging and impacting individuals where they live, work and thrive
At the heart of Story Tapestries’ programs is the desire to empower people to identify and access their personal strengths and boost their areas of weakness. We envision a world in which every individual has access to tools and resources that use the arts as a vital form of communication for expression, skills development, enhancement of community connections and celebration of unique voices and stories. Above all, we imagine a world in which every person experiences JOY!
