Our mission statement:

Splinter Collective’s mission is to promote the arts and social justice in Southern Arizona, and serve as a local artistic and community hub. We center the artistic expression, voices, and experiences of folks who are systematically disenfranchised and historically absent from the centers of power. We do this through culture making, curating artistic events, providing an accessible venue for community events, liberatory art practices, social justice organizing, and fiscally sponsoring aligned projects.
