THE MISSION

We are all gifted with a light that is the essence of who we are. A light that gives us the capacity to love and create. The very light we use to express ourselves artistically. It is often as we grow older we put up walls to protect our light, but in return, end up dimming it. Allowing our light to brightly shine is a signal to the world to have the courage to love, the bravery to be ambitious, the will to feel emotions and the fearlessness to experience life without reservation. The Shining Beacon Arts is a haven for those seeking to brighten their light and share it with the world.
