- A presenter of nationally acclaimed programming in live performance and film
- An initiator, supporter, and/or producer of financially viable local programming that helps define and promote the cultural identity of Bloomington, Indiana, and our general region
- A “front door” to our community, providing information about and sparking interest in Bloomington arts and culture, reaching both the local community and visitors
- A sustainable business, considering not only the immediate bottom line, but also the long-term value and expense of our operations, both fiscally and environmentally, to our staff, promoter partners, patrons, and community
- A model and national leader in all of the above areas
