Why We Serve

Our Purpose: Mission, Vision, and Values; as well as our Diversity Pledge, and Acknowledging the Land we share.

Mission

To enhance life by producing awe and emboldening the truths not heard in life. We do this by providing platforms to project the light of creation from within our voice as a common people, and empower change through powerfully published community-driven multimedia storytelling.

Vision

We see a world where equity is defined above equality, where the lies of disparity are quelled with the lights cast from the help of our shadows within, and where people are connected to trust through the wonder we share with one another. We believe the path to do this is to advocate for and innovate how stories are told and sold.

Values

Our Mission and Vision shared, it is enforced by these Values, concepts that form the foundation of our march onward into the ides of darkness as an artist commune and small art studio. We wade through these dark waters, held aloft by the people around who support us, and these ideals. 

  • Imagination - Foster imagination through wonder and awe.

  • Protagonism - You can only change the world if you are a part of it.  

  • Inclusivity - Include historically marginalized voices with diversity & equity.

  • Agency - Our story is our greatest power.

  • Innovation - Small ideas can generate the greatest change.

Diversity Vow & Safety in Stories

Pantheon Arts Community Storytelling vows to include the voices of and serve as allies to those of all sexes, races, genders, sexualities, creeds, and conditions be they physical or mental.

Safety in storytelling is vital, and as a team with lived mental health illness and members of the Queer and Disability communities, we know the power of our story.

We all matter in this world, no matter the voices that may tell us otherwise.

Land Acknowledgement

We who are a part of Pantheon Arts Community Storytelling acknowledge the traditional homelands of many tribes, including the Multnomah, Wasco, Cowlitz, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Bands of Chinook, Tualatin, Kalapuya, and Molalla. We also recognize the ongoing relationship between Indigenous peoples and the land, and understand that we are also citizens of this global community.
