Refuge Mission
REFUGE: Center for Artists in Recovery connects
artists with the public.

At REFUGE, art is a catalyst to communicate the
success of recovery from the barriers of addiction or
mental, physical, and emotional challenges.

REFUGE Values
Common Experience.
The experiences we have in common give us the empathy and understanding to help others.
Creative.
Our creative thinking and expression stimulates discussion, understanding in others.
Honest.
We are honest—with ourselves and others—so that we may have clarity and focus.
Active
We actively participate in the process of improving ourselves and moving our life forward.
Nurturing.
We foster a safe and supportive environment.
Good / Disciplined
Creating great art requires the same discipline and effort as making a great life
Inclusive.
We invite you if you think you belong here.
Service.
We grow and learn by paying forward what we have received.  

If you see yourself in our mission and share our values—or support someone who does—then you belong.
