AWARE’s purpose is to raise consciousness through art, music and spoken word, promoting peace and justice by hosting community events and networking with other organizations (see our Affiliate Links).

Artists are the heart of our culture and mirrors on our society. Experience the sights and sounds when local artists, poets and musicians come together to inspire and enlighten. Check our calendar for event dates.

Through coalitions with others, we can be a part of the solution.
