Below is our introduction statement, mission, and values statement.
Introduction: HeartSpace is an arts and culture center in Lake City. It is a concept imagined by people who have been listening to residents, business owners, and service providers about what is needed to connect this diverse community. We are starting with activating a vacant storefront in the heart of our community. This is a proof of concept plan as we determine how a mission driven physical space can impact our personal and professional communities. We hope our success will lead to a permanent home in our beloved neighborhood. We encourage broad involvement and participation by residents and organizations to give us feedback and develop the concept with us.
Mission Statement: HeartSpace in Lake City will meet the needs of the surrounding community by providing a flexible community hub that contributes to the well-being of our neighbors in a welcoming and safe environment. Gatherings held at HeartSpace will treat everyone with dignity and respect.
Vision: HeartSpace will evolve as a community centric space created by the community, for the community. Programs will be shaped according to the needs of those that seek out a place to learn, support their community and connect. We want to help our neighbors and community become self-sufficient in a place where expression, cultural exchange, art, and business incubation can happen.
