Think Round, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in July of 2004 by Heidi Hardin. Heidi is a fine artist whose experience as an original member of San Francisco’s Hunters Point Shipyard artists’ community and as an arts educator working with children in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood shaped her vision of creating art that tells a multifaceted story of family, faith, community and culture. Since 1992, Heidi and the artists she recruited, as well as the teachers and principals where they taught have created and implemented art-based programs for children, youth and their families designed to improve life in the traditionally underserved Southeast Sector of San Francisco. Think Round, Inc.’s programming reflects the same core concerns that guide our artists and their artwork, that include environmental awareness, universal spirituality, and the power of creativity to transform people’s lives. 

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Think Round, Inc. is to demonstrate life's fullest potential through the arts and sciences, especially where environmental concerns meet family homes and neighborhoods. Our programs and art installations explore ideas about cultural self-definition, the pervasiveness of the American dream, and the universality of the human family. These artworks will be permanently housed at The Center for the Human Family, which is in planning as a destination for families, where they will go -- physically or virtually over the world wide web -- not to be entertained, but to have an authentic experience of being human, of being a member of the Human Family. In addition, this center will provide facilities for individuals and groups, families and foes, to study world religions, human spiritual evolution, consciousness, and creativity. The Center for the Human Family will also provide programs for conflict resolution, individual and family healing, and other programs that will help establish happy, healthy, and sustainable living on the planet.
