The overall mission of the Corporation is to aid in the preservation of peace through mutual respect, understanding and cooperation. The model for achieving this is through the synthesis of art, architecture, philosophy and poetry. The Corporation exists to promote and encourage true intercultural dialogue between countries, through which the representatives of different countries can discover shared values and spiritual commonality.
The nature of the Fermata Arts Foundation activities is
* developing cultural partnerships between New England cities and cities in the post-soviet space countries;
* providing opportunities for individuals to experience and explore other cultures;
* creating an atmosphere in which community development can be strengthened by stimulating environments through which communities will creatively learn, work, and solve problems together through reciprocal cultural and educational exchanges and projects; and
* collaborating with organizations in the United States and other countries which share similar goals.
