-
Our investments of time and energy should
deliver value in the three goals we have established.
-
We may choose to act as an instigator as well
as a responder to insure effective public policy.
-
Given that we cannot be everything to
everybody, we should ensure that the public funds we utilize provide a
menu of opportunities and support a range of investments and impacts.
-
The agency should explore interesting and
innovative strategies in all areas.
-
We should ensure strategic delivery systems
that allow people to connect to the arts and their value; this
demonstration of public benefit justifies the expenditure of public
funds.
-
We maintain the agency reputation for fair and
equitable practices.
-
The agency works to break down barriers to its staff,
services and funding as much as is possible, realistic and
appropriate.
-
Those receiving grants and services must be
accountable for the investment of state funds, and
delivery/articulation of a range of public values.
-
We must help prepare our partners to understand
the need to articulate public value, and improve their ability to do
so.
-
We will ensure a time and place for reflection
and learning, not only for our agency but also for the field, to
improve the quality of work.
-
We should expand our work beyond the nonprofit
realm when it will help achieve our goals and mission.
-
We request funding from primarily government
sources (NEA and State). When we seek private funds, we do not compete
with our constituents.
-
We will encourage the private sector to support
the arts.
-
We work to create public value. Public value is
a principle or ideal, experience, service or product, intrinsically
valuable or desirable to the citizens of Arizona, and therefore worthy
of state support.
