Our Mission
AITAF honors and enriches the lives of the US military community by offering powerful shared experiences in theater and film. Featuring professional artists and contemporary American content, we create space for meaningful dialogue, igniting connection and deepening our capacity for understanding around our common humanity.
Our Values
Accessibility
We bring free artistic experiences to military communities that showcase diverse contemporary works of art.
Dialogue
We use the shared experience of art and/or military training to encourage an exchange of ideas across ranks, and between service members and artists.
Entertainment
We aim to foster resiliency, boost morale, and build community.
Integrity
We respect both our audience and the work we present by not compromising our standards of artistic excellence.
Professionalism
We bring the highest quality of artists, arts programming and planning to match the commitment, knowledge, and experience of the military community.
Respect
We value the diversity of the military and artistic communities by honoring both their differences and shared human experience.
