Our Mission

Tidewater Arts Outreach was
formed in 2004 to help
alleviate the sense of isolation
 people experience living in
 institutions by bringing the
live arts and entertainment
 and the healing power of music, visual arts, and lively arts programs.

The mission of Tidewater Arts Outreach is to uplift the human spirit by bringing live, quality music and arts experiences to people in Hampton Roads who are in homes, hospitals, shelters, facilities and dependent care programs or otherwise are isolated from society.

Music and arts programs can be beneficial in many ways:

• They enrich the soul, stimulate the mind and promote wellness through the healing power of music and the arts,

• They provide opportunities for self-expression and self-realization through participation in music and arts activities,

• They create a sense of community and a source of inspiration for our artists by providing them with opportunities to share their talents,

• They provide opportunities for other volunteers to contribute a variety of skills and resources that support our humanitarian services and increase the impact of donor contributions.

In carrying out this mission, we seek to create a social awareness in the Hampton Roads communities of people who are isolated from society.
