Mission
The Hartfel mission is to facilitate greater awareness of the individual through the arts, in particular the art of ballet. We want to inspire self-worth and a sustaining belief in each individual's ability to make a lasting and meaningful contribution to each other and our community.
Goals
We achieve our mission through the following programs:
- Inspiring performances by The JohnC Art Ballet.
- Our revolutionary teaching program, the Cradle Method, that makes a difficult art form accessible to all.
- Vital body awareness and art-conscious services for the blind, hearing-impaired, wheel-chair bound, as well as the economically and socially challenged.
The Hartfel Foundation is dedicated to developing a higher level of consciousness through the arts, from within America's own significant resources of talent and ingenuity. Only when a society has created its own internal art and culture can it appreciate other cultures; only then can it invite others to work side by side, in a significantly more civilized world.
