Boogie Universal ARTS Collective Mission Statement: The Boogie Universal ARTS Collective is a group of volunteers that believes better living comes through building community. We are dedicated to creating events that celebrate and showcase our community's creative potential. We formed in 2002 as several of us recognized the need for new venues for great dance music and a shift in local entertainment. To us, the spectator style events based around music accompanied by booze and drugs have become very stale. We recognize that what makes an event great is when people feel they are a part of the magic. We encourage participation, artistic contributions, volunteerism, and costuming. We try to create meaningful experiences for all of our participants that will be new and different at every event and leave people inspired to dive into their own creativity for future events and in day to day life. The Boogie Universal ARTS Collective Better Living Through Community Above: The circle and om before a Boogie is a tradition from our earliest events.
