Mission Statement

The Mission of The Carol Autorino Center for the Arts and Humanities is:

To provide transformative experiences which affirm the arts as essential to the human endeavor and to an understanding of human life, and to serve as a cultural resource for Saint Joseph College and the greater Hartford community;

To create interdisciplinary projects that link curricula with the arts and humanities, to provide a liberal arts context for all fields of study and professional programs, to heighten an awareness of international cultures and the importance of diversity in society, and to serve as a forum for the examination of campus, regional, national, and world issues;

To support and present the work of student, pre-professional and professional and performing artists;

To stimulate and foster creativity and scholarship by serving as an arts presenter, and by providing a professional structure and environment where the College and greater Hartford communities learn, experience, and participate in the visual and performing arts; and

To conduct partnership activities with academic departments and programs, and outreach activities with arts and community organizations.
