Focus/Mission: We are a group of artists, designers, and creatives of color whose mission is to increase the creative, social, and professional opportunities for students, graduates, and faculty of color at the Stamps School of Art and Design. We aim to connect members with professionals of color while fostering the creative growth and personal development of the minority communities of Stamps through lectures, meetings, exhibits, excursions, community service, artistic and visual activism in times of social injustice, as well as through projects that will engage the greater University with the Stamps School of Art and Design. We strive to provide a space to delve into and react to diverse topics, entertainment, and endeavors pertaining to issues of race and ethnicity as well as intersections with other social identities.

Focus/Mission: It is our mission and obligation to promote and foster artistic freedom and philanthropic ideas in minority communities and urban environments that promote unity, writing, and creative expression. Collectively, we will constitute a voice for people coming from marginalized communities that will strive to familiarize others with the struggles of underrepresented Americans. Our fundamental purpose will follow an original 4-block commandment represented by the acronym MAAP (Minority based, Activism, Art, & Philanthropy). This constitutes our goal to strive to respectfully represent minorities through activism, art, and philanthropy. MAAP is a guide for U.W.S. and will play a key role in our fundamental decision-making as an organization. At U.W.S. we will provide a safe and familiar environment for all P.O.C, where each member can hone their skills and participate in movements or shows meant to give back to our communities through entertainment and any aid we find ourselves capable of.
