Common
Ground on the Hill was founded on the premise that there
is a common human thread unifying all people expressed in
our various artistic traditions. Our mission is to make
this thread a path towards human understanding, tolerance,
fulfillment, and enjoyment. The embodiment of this path
is a music and arts community, where master musicians, artists,
craft people, and creative thinkers will provide a quality
learning experience for an audience, which we will endeavor
to increase in size, diversity, and influence. It is essential
to the success of this mission that the artists, teachers,
and students reflect local, national, and international
communities.
It
is our goal to provide the opportunity to teach and to study
various musical instruments and art forms representing various
ethnic and cultural traditions. To sponsor a series of musical
and artistic events from cultural and ethnic groups who
are marginalized in our society or who are in conflict with
each other and listen to their voices, e.g., Indigenous
People, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Asian-Americans,
Euro-Americans, etc. To encourage and facilitate dialogue,
by way of the arts among different cultural traditions,
in order to discover that this artistic common ground unites
us, and that, as a result, the world might become a more
human place.

O L U N T E E RS are NEEDED
