FRESH GROUND PEPPER is an arts company devoted to creators, the creative spirit, and the creative process. We further creativity through exploration, adventuration, curiosity, joy, and engagement in new and evolving systems. We hold space for artists to congregate and connect, honor new paces, and discover new paths of growth. We celebrate process in art, which leads to celebrating process in the world - because Process is Progress.

Every other year Fresh Ground Pepper works to re-articulate our company’s intention: how we hope to participate in the creative community and the way in which we hope to support our artists and audiences in the celebration of emerging art.

Today we proclaim: #processisprogress

Here are the values that guide our programming and way of working:
