PRINCIPLES
Principles and Mission.
Perfect City principles govern our process and programs. They help our work expand into multiple forms and embrace multiple voices. We developed these principles because our working group spans generations and backgrounds.
1
Aesthetic Amnesty
No one’s ideas about art are better than anyone else’s.
2
Emotional Amnesty
No one holds what you say against you.
3
Logistical Flexibility
You come and go when you can.
4
Pay for Labor
Everyone’s work is resourced.
5
Art Grows from Necessity
We don’t totally know what that means either.
MISSION · VISION · VALUES
Mission, Vision, Values.
MISSION
Perfect City amplifies and advances imaginative democratic practices that shape and sustain cities of unlimited opportunity.
VISION
Perfect City envisions a future where belonging, creativity, and joy facilitate the well-being of the people, the planet, and policy-making efforts power justice and systemic liberation.
VALUE PROPOSITION
Governance is a creative practice. We shift apathy into civic action by investing in an intergenerational network of creative change-makers committed to invigorating democracy and energizing civic life.
THEORY OF CHANGE
Liberation is achieved by intentionally centering the voices and needs of those who have been pushed to the margins of democratic access. When creativity, education, cultural organizing, resource sharing, and legislative imagination are unleashed, we ignite creative civic action that progressively transforms our cities into portals of power and possibility for generations to come.
