What is AIR?
Mission Statement
AIR’s mission is to provide the Richardson community with a facility and resources for nurturing artists and innovative thinkers; and igniting a spirit of creativity that permeates our entire community.
Vision
Once a community has been exposed to this artistic synergy, the good that can be wrought is beyond measure. It infuses every fiber of our lives with creativity and ardor—our schools, our businesses, our charities, our homes…our hearts.
AIR, a 501(c)(3), is a center for creativity, innovation and collaboration. Arts groups, individual artists and corporations use the center as a home for inspiration—whether teaching, rehearsing, exhibiting or problem solving with a creative twist. AIR’s practical side offers space for rehearsals, classes and conducting business. Simply by virtue of being housed in a single space, collaboration will be a focus as the center’s users rehearse, perform, create, exhibit, meet and hold workshops and classes—all under the same roof.
While AIR is seeking a permanent home, we continue to put our best foot forward and live our mission through the presenting and development of a variety of arts opportunities.
