The Forum’s mission is to provide audiences with the opportunity to experience high-quality programs featuring music, theater, opera, film and stimulating speakers, from October 2018 through May 2019.
This year, it has reinforced its mission of enriching the culture of the Virgin Islands by arranging for its Community Outreach (workshops and master classes) to be open to the public, hosted by the UVI Music Department and in collaboration with the V.I. Department of Education (VIDE). The goal is to foster a life-long appreciation for the arts in the territory’s diverse population.
This season has been made possible by: The Forum Circle Members, The Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation, Fintrac, The Community Foundation of the Virgin Islands, The VI Lottery, The Virgin Islands Council on the Arts and The National Endowment for the Arts, The Virgin Islands Department of Agriculture, The Prior Family Foundation, The Forum Family and volunteers.
