Our Mission

The louderARTS Project is an arts organization committed to developing constructive and challenging spaces for artists to create, critique, present, and teach poetry.

Our Vision

The louderARTS Project seeks to: 

• create a literary and artistic environment for both its artists and audience by expanding perspective, voice and critical vocabulary. 

• sponsor literary arts programming in underserved communities. 

• encourage experimentation and growth by its artists by creating opportunities to craft and present collaborative, cross-genre work incorporating mixed media, music, dance, and theatrical elements. 

• foster a deeper understanding, within its artists and audience, of the oral and literary traditions which underlie today's poetry. 

• work in partnership with other organizations to maximize the strengths and expertise of each.
