Mission and Vision:
The mission of Concerted Effort is to develop practical methods for nurturing imaginative experience and releasing the creative spirit. Our educational programs use the arts to enhance learning, promote literacy, support healing, foster creativity, and develop understanding of the natural world. By guiding children and adults through an artistic creative process, we want to strengthen each individual voice and simultaneously build community.

Imagination is the wellspring of all creative human endeavors. To sustain a vibrant democratic society, free and playful imagination must flourish. To be at peace, as individuals and in communities, we need to appreciate, understand, and live in harmony with nature.
