Mission, Vision and Values

VISION: The Aurora Cultural Arts District (ACAD) is a diverse and vibrant arts destination that embraces its urban heritage and drives economic growth.

MISSION: The Aurora Cultural Arts Districtʼs mission is to encourage artistic and cultural creativity through advocacy, promoting programs and activities, supporting our multicultural urban communities, and providing opportunities for diverse expression.

VALUES: The Aurora Cultural Arts District is committed to building a better downtown area that utilizes the arts and creative businesses to spur a vibrant, diverse and economically sustainable place. With integrity and transparency, ACAD will serve as a responsible steward that fosters and promotes the District’s uniqueness and its many creative enterprises. Through collaboration and inclusiveness ACAD is dedicated to bringing the community together using the catalyst of art.

The Aurora Culture Arts District provides events for artists to share their work with the community via our annual Aurora Art Festival, IMMI-FEST and other special events throughout the year. We support the arts in the community.

In March, 2012 the Aurora Cultural Arts District was designated as a Non-Profit c(3) organization. Interested in getting involved in ACAD? Email our Board President.

The Aurora’s Art in Public Places (AIPP) program is planning a special exhibition commemorating the anniversary of women's right to vote. AIPP invited 10 local women artists from diverse backgrounds and asked them the question,
“What Does the 19th Amendment Mean to You?” The 10 selected artists responded…

We will be highlighting each one of the artists participating.
This week we are highlighting our fifth artist Xencs L. Wing Art

“Hi, I’m Xencs. I’m a self-taught Xicana artist born and raised in Denver, Colorado. I’m honored to have been chosen to participate in the Voices of Women Reflecting the 19th Amendment exhibit! I work with many types of media, but for this piece, I decided to use paint to tell a story inspired by the path that women paved 100 years ago. I recognize that this movement was a spark that started other movements for women. This piece is inspired by the women who look like me and who use their right to vote to be heard – and by the women who have taken the steps to use their power in the senate, congress, and city councils across America. It’s inspired by the conversation that representation matters. Finally, it is inspired by the little ladies who are often told their too bossy, but the truth is, they’re natural leaders and have aspirations to break the ceiling that they’ve been told couldn’t be broken.”- Artist Angélica Jiménez @Xencs L. Wing Art

Next week we will highlight other artists participating in the
exhibit. #hercolorado #Colorado #WomensVoteCentennial #auroraaipp
