AIA Mission Statement
Arts Intersections Agincourt is a community and parent-led non-profit organization that promotes the intrinsic values of the arts to families in our community. We are committed to providing access to professional artists and opportunities for creative exploration for parents, children and community members through arts programs, exhibits and workshops.

- To connect families and community members across Agincourt in the support of arts education and creative expression.
- To provide meaningful arts programming for children and families in collaboration with professional artists.
