Vision
Common Ground on the
Hill was founded on the premise that there is a common human
thread unifying all people expressed in our various artistic
traditions. Our mission is to make this thread a path towards
human understanding, tolerance, fulfillment, and enjoyment.
The
embodiment of this path will be a music and arts community where
master musicians, artists, craftspeople, and creative thinkers
will provide a quality learning experience for an audience which
we will endeavor to increase in size, diversity, and influence.
It is essential to the success of this mission that the artists,
teachers, and students, reflect local, national, and international
communities.
Goals
"To provide the
opportunity to teach and to study various musical instruments
and art forms representing various ethnic and cultural traditions.
To sponsor a series of musical and artistic events from cultural
and ethnic groups who are marginalized in our society or who
are in conflict with each other and listen to their voices,
e.g., Indigenous People, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans,
Asian-Americans, Euro-Americans etc. To encourage and facilitate
dialogue, by way of the arts among different cultural traditions,
in order to discover that this artistic common ground unites
us, and that, as a result, the world might become a more human
place." Ira Zepp
