The mission
of Provenance Center is to serve as a public forum in which all
dimensions of culture can be examined through the lens of artistic
expression. Our vision is that with a clearer understanding of the
cultural foundation and origins of the human experience, that which
we share will prevail over that which keeps us apart. Founded in 2009 by Nadesha Mijoba as a project of Mijoba Communications, LLC, a cultural competence consulting group, Provenance Center is an urban gallery space devoted to exploring the origins, roles and meaning of art and culture in the human experience. Provenance Center has hosted a wide range of exhibits, events and activities highlighting many facets of culture as represented by a variety of artistic media. In selecting subject material for our gallery shows, we seek to bring our audience to a clearer understanding of the cultural foundations of human society, as well as an enhanced appreciation for mankind's diverse social and spiritual life. |
Provenance Center believes strongly in the power of art to positively communicate ideas, expressions and emotions in addition to serving as a voice for those who may otherwise not be seen or heard. Especially for those individuals disconnected from equitable treatment and opportunity due to social disenfranchisement, Provenance Center has, from it's beginning, sought to address such unacceptable societal conditions. For those of all ages, gender and ethnicity, Provenance Center exists as a haven for cultural information, education and enjoyment that we believe every community should offer its citizens. Furthermore, expressed through the language of art, such messages are available to all regardless of education, language or past experience. As a means of unification, art has the power to speak with all people and promote collective action necessary for positive social change. It is the hope of Provenance Center that through increased awareness and understanding of our shared cultural origins, along with our potential for creative expression, we may be able to better address current problems as well as future challenges. |
