Duluth Art Institute— Cultivating Culture: The Integral Role of Arts in Community Flourishing
In communities where culture thrives, the arts emerge as powerful catalysts, shaping the very essence of identity and connection. From preserving tradition to forging economic prosperity, the impacts of the arts are far-reaching. The visual arts nurture creativity and critical thinking, contributing to the vitality of where we live. The arts become a dynamic force in building a stronger, more cohesive community. The result is a community that cherishes its past and actively shapes an expansive future. “Cultivating Culture” explores the impact of the arts through the lens of the Duluth Art Institute, illuminating its integral role in nurturing a flourishing and dynamic community. Our speaker will be Christina Woods, Duluth Art Institute (DAI) Executive Director and Member of the Bois Forte Nation.

We are Diverse Thinkers
We need not think alike to love alike. We are people of many beliefs and backgrounds: people with a religious background, people with none, people who believe in a God, people who don’t, and people who just let the mystery be. We seek to welcome you just as you are: your whole self, with all your truths and your doubts, your fears and your hopes.
We Support Each Other
From infancy to old age, we support each other’s paths as we seek to live lives of integrity, compassion, commitment, and joy. We help each other learn and grow as we explore our faiths, our identities, and our world.
We Act for Justice
We have a legacy of “deeds not creeds.” Our work for a better world calls us to harness love’s power to stop oppression. From grassroots community organizing to state, national, and corporate advocacy; in protest marches, prayer vigils, and press conferences; in homeless shelters and in prisons, we are called to put our faith into action.
We Serve
Service is at the core of our faith. We are called to make a positive difference in the world. We partner with, and advocate for, people and organizations in need of support. We live our values out loud.
