Project Description:

Keys to Life proposes to explore the question of the meaning of home through an artistic format. In our diverse culture, the word “home” is our commonality.  Its meaning is as diverse as our cultures. Keys to Life will invite a variety of community artists, storytellers, writers, visual artists, photographers,  and musicians to participate in the project. Keys to Life wants to engage in a new conversation and shift the narrative.  What are the views of those who are incarcerated,  how would a teenager who is living in a shelter view home? How can we see homes from the viewpoint of a chronically homeless individual? How can KTL invite a diversity of viewpoints and expressions? We ask these questions seeking answers for better understanding and compassion toward our community members. 

The arts will again be the catalyst to help us gain insight into who we are and how we live in this community. Our audience/participant base will represent all sectors of our community, i.e., cultural and generational diversity. Through the power of the arts we can create new stories.
