Unique Experiences
Keepin’ “Benson Bent” & “Good Weird,” BFF encourages originality, novelties, and perhaps unconventional ideas and strategies to support the arts and the neighborhood.


GUIDING PRINCIPLES
When interacting with or under BFF, keep these key principles in mind as guidance for action.

Help Others  (Core Values:  Education & Inclusivity)
Help others through action, interaction, and compassion.  Strive to be inclusive and help educate.

Be Creative (Core Values:  Unique Experiences)
Creativity cannot be or come from normalcy and shouldn’t be treated as such.
By opening up our minds and tapping into creativity, we provide unique experiences for the community.

Have Integrity (Core Values:  Education, Inclusivity, Opportunity, Unique Experiences)
Work in a dignified and serious manner, throughout all actions - and no matter how unique the action, integrity keeps it relative to the mission.  Do unto others...

Be Respectful (Core Values:  Education, Inclusivity, Opportunity, Unique Experiences)
We are all in this together, and cannot progress without respect for each other, our surroundings, our belongings, and the community at large.

Enjoy Yourself (Core Values:  Education, Inclusivity, Opportunity, Unique Experiences)
Life is too short and it’s later than you think.   If you are genuinely enjoying your actions and involvement with BFF, then you are doing the right thing, in the right place, at the right time.
