MISSION

Our mission is to fuel experiments in art and activism, collaborating with adventurous artists and our neighbors to bring about a more just and vibrant society.

VISION

JACK was founded to create a space for performance that serves as a connection point for multiple communities — a space where individuals from different backgrounds come together, create art, and speak their truth.

We see the role of an arts space to also be a community space, and we connect neighbors not only through performances, but also through conversations on issues of importance.

With whatever we’re sharing — performances, community forums, mutual aid — our aim is to move people to think and feel differently. The programming at JACK is not “safe” — it is not designed for comfort, but rather to challenge our community with work that is intentional, urgent, and adventurous. We want to inspire conversation, reflection and action.
