Art Does It

ADI’s mission is to “live for art, not from it”, and defines itself as a non-profit with the spirit of cooperation and charity for the greater good, which means: ADI artists have the opportunity to create art works for art’s sake and therefore grow their art, without the burden of commissions to the co-op or to ADI; ADI artists having a sense of community with each other, by learning from each other and working together on Dauphin Island (DI) community projects; ADI forming partnerships with DI community organizations to promote the Arts and DI through its regular participation in DI community events ( e.g. Art Trail, Parades, Fishing Tournaments, etc.), collaboration on community projects (where the Arts are part of the grant writing product), and co-sponsoring more Arts related festivals on DI.
