The mission of Kaleidoscope Arts Festival is to bring free or low cost, quality arts programming to an underserved region. Situated on the Slippery Rock University campus, Kaleidoscope Arts festival strives to be the premier arts presenter in the region. Slippery Rock University continues the tradition of the Kaleidoscope Regional Arts Festival in 2009.

This year's Kaleidoscope Slippery Rock Regional Arts Festival was supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
