The Wayzgoose Kitsap Way
MISSION
We are on a mission to excite, engage and strengthen our community through the power of art!
Our annual festival is for the people and by the people: Big art. Made in the streets. With love in our hearts.
VISION
We see a world in which people use art as an effective and valued means of connection, to express their experience, and to create change.
We believe in the power of art to transform lives.
VALUES
Accountability & Stewardship
We work with our community and stakeholders in mind. We are contributing to a legacy of craftsmanship and community-building. We are storytellers and we take that job seriously.
Integrity & Balance
We believe that the Way We Do It matters. We are real people, with real needs and aspirations. We are responsible for supporting healthy fulfilling lives within our organization and in the world around us.
Intention & Value
We believe art makes the world a better place. We care about each other and we care about the work we do. We support artists at all levels of their craft.
Transparency & Knowledge-Sharing
We keep the lines of communication open. We fight against guesswork and rumor. We support and promote a culture of knowledge-sharing. We are facilitators, not gatekeepers.
Abundance & Kindness
We believe that there is more than enough to go around. We work with kindness in our hearts.
