"The mission of the Holmes Center for the Arts is to provide educational and performing opportunities in the arts for individuals of all economic and social backgrounds within a wholesome, family-oriented atmosphere and to enrich our community through those artistic experiences.  We are a center for the arts---a place where quality educators from every area of art (music, dance, theater, and visual arts) can teach interested students of all ages their skills.  

We believe that artists have the responsibility to bring people together, so in addition to classes in the arts, we organize music, dance, and theatrical performances as well as artistic presentations"
