Our Vision

By virtue of emerge’s unique presence, children and adults,
individuals and families alike will have the opportunity to access high-
quality artistic training and creative enrichment on their own terms.

Through more convenient access to the arts, it is our vision that the arts

will become a more widely accessed tool for personal development, wellness,

and stress relief.

Our Mission

Our Philosophy
At Emerge it is our philosophy that art is strongly linked to the spirit.
Because we feel that creativity comes from within, we believe that
one may become an artist through the self-development process.
Conversely, we also believe that art, itself, is one of the best ways to
facilitate such a self development process. While it is the job of the
teachers at emerge to guide and facilitate learning in each artistic
genre, it is ultimately the job of the individual student to harness his or
her own artistic potential.

At Emerge we make the process of working on oneself from within
more manageable by providing the tools to do so. Thus, along with
our wide variety of art related classes, we also offer yoga classes, a
monthly meditation workshop, and a free meditation space to all
take classes at Emerge. We do so in the hope that our students will
students who make use of them to provide guidance in their artistic
and self development.
