Vision

We believe in a world where all people with learning disabilities will have access to the creative arts. We seek to promote wellbeing and eliminate social exclusion, isolation and prejudice.

Mission

Using visual and performing arts, Rowan endeavours to provide a safe, creative and enriching environment where adults with learning disabilities, under the direction of artists, craftspeople and volunteers, can grow artistically, as well as in their abilities, confidence and self-esteem – all vital ingredients for independent living, health and wellbeing.

Rowan is committed to:

• Approaching life as an adventure, with humour, passion, optimism and fun
• Sharing our passion for bringing art and people together
• Fairness and equal opportunities based on respect for all people
• Doing good for the whole – our students, staff, community and society
• Providing a safe, caring, nurturing, inspiring and creative environment
• Championing personal development, innovation and excellence
• Encouraging friendship and a sense of belonging
• Sustainability and acting in an environmentally friendly and ethical way
• A social enterprise model that produces financial returns and social impact
