Vision

Where creative exploration happens with zeal and with purpose, without restraint or presumption, there will thrive a society that not only sustains its people, but challenges, connects and enlightens them through the power of bold human expression.

Mission

The Thomas S. Kenan Institute for the Arts incubates projects that sustain artists at every point in their creative development through strategic partnerships that capitalize on visionary thinking in the arts.

Established at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts
