Northern Lights recognizes that equity work is long and continuous, and that progress doesn’t happen without intentionality. With the Program Council, a group of artists and organizers from various disciplines, we have created a Vision and Mission that will continue to evolve into the future.

Vision

The Program Council works with Northern Lights to address and promote racial equity by identifying places within Northern Lights’ programming to advocate for procedural, pragmatic and philosophical changes that increases equity and participation at Northern Spark and other Northern Lights programming.

Mission

To help Northern Lights conceive, plan, and execute Northern Spark 2019 in collaboration with community partners and members, with a particular attention to issues of equity and representation in terms of artists, partners, and audiences.
