Our Vision

Our vision is to utilize existing and new community spaces for creative
literary, performing, and culinary arts workshops, learning spaces, and
events that highlight the diverse history, voices, expressions, and
experiences of California’s Central Valley.
POETICAS recognizes the value of access to creative spaces and
performance venues in all communities and seeks to develop the
community’s individual and collective ability to express, imagine, and
materialize our voices across mediums resulting in invaluable beauty,
function, and wellness in the Central Valley and beyond. Such
opportunities from Poeticas are, therefore, nominal in price to ensure
access to the greater community.
Such spaces will include but not be limited to designated writing spaces,
community theaters, production of community written and directed literary
art, makerspaces, mobile and storefront commissaries, and cottage food
operations, performing spaces, and community gardens.
Through education, celebration, and communication, POETICAS
INSTITUTE has a unique vision to improve and uplift our community
through a wide range of creative expressions while focusing on
developing and strengthening the overall literacy of the community to be
able to create a thriving social and economic climate.
