GROWTH! The ShoreLake Arts Board came together in February
2020, pre-COVID, to identify the strategic goals that would drive our
organization through 2023. Our collective vision was clear: we wanted
to grow our budget and expand the number of people we connect to
the arts in our community thoughtfully. We chose to embrace the
goal of increasing access for all members of our community by
focusing on equity and inclusivity in arts experiences and
opportunities. We also set the short term goal of making an informed
decision by the end of 2021 as to whether to pursue a capital campaign
to build an Arts Center in North King County or choose to grow our
organization in a different way. These strategic goals were built on the
solid foundation created by the organization’s steady growth over the
past five years, our largely successful achievement of prior strategic
goals, and the changes to our community driven by increased
density and the imminent arrival of two rapid transit stations in
Shoreline.
