Sustained by a community of local artists and nonprofit art organizations, MAI is an art center filled with affordable studios, events, and a beautiful contemporary gallery. Vision: MAI aspires to create a supportive community

hub of emerging and professional artists and invites them to collaborate and exchange ideas. Mission Statement: Mousa Art Initiative’s (MAI) mission is to support and mentor artists by providing communal studio spaces where they can inspire each other as they explore their own potential. MAI will connect and nurture artists from vulnerable communities – those who lack access to artist facilities, as well as artisans seeking professional development opportunities – and prevent them from falling through the cracks. Because we see artists as an important part of a healthy and well-developed society, MAI will educate people, leaders, and companies about the essential role artists play in fostering equality, equal opportunity, environmental responsibility. Therefore, MAI will respond to the need to expand arts into every aspect of our lives and in all places. MAI is inspired to branch out to every state and many countries around the world opening creative spaces such as this. Art is joy. Art is life. Art is healing. Art is community. We have never needed art more than we do right now. Our future depends on it.
