Form 990, Part I, Line 1 - Briefly describe the organization's mission
The Harris Theater's mission is to partner with an array of Chicago's emerging and mid-sized performing arts organizations to help them build the resources and infrastructure necessary to achieve artistic growth and long-term organizational sustainability. The Theater supports this mission by providing these partner organizations subsidized rental, technical expertise, and marketing support, thus allowing the organizations to focus on what they do best - bringing the finest music and dance to the public. Additionally, the Harris Theater is committed to presenting world-class music and dance organizations in order to maintain its reputation as a venue of growing importance as well as to help build audiences for its resident companies. Lastly, an important part of the Theater's mission is to advance arts education for children and adults through family programming. The Theater's family programming enables parents and children to experience music and dance together with the idea that family-wide learning will lead to a deeper and more meaningful incorporation of art into children's lives and will, ultimately, build long-term audiences for the Theater's resident companies.
