OUR VISION:
THRIVING THROUGH CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION
Halfway to Everywhere Music and Arts Festival strives to create a culturally vibrant Kansas whose thriving economy is fueled by a happy, healthy and well-educated population.
OUR GOALS:
WELL-BEING
The arts possess therapeutic properties that are experienced by persons observing the arts, as well as by persons partaking in the creation or performance of the arts. These unique therapeutic properties can serve as a catalyst towards developing a healthy community. H2E empowers its patrons by providing programming that focuses on engaging creative arts experiences.
EDUCATION
Research has concluded that involvement with the arts and arts programming increases students' scores in math, science, reading and communication. H2E advocates for the arts and provides arts-based educational programming in order to supplement traditional curricula with unique and creative learning experiences.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
In recent decades, increasing numbers of communities are tapping into the extensive benefits that investment in local cultural economies brings. The arts are proving to be enormously valuable assets to communities who choose to support and advocate for creative industries. H2E features programming on professional development for aspiring artists, thereby enriching the creative economy within the community.
