Today the organization's interest has developed to focus specific attention on an appreciation for historic preservation and research, commonalities and comparative differences in human culture, as well as innovative scholarly research and experimentation, in support of the development of new educational tools. In essence, Euphrates concerns are cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary. Intellectual, professional and economic resource development, including selective commercial endeavors, are the primary activities currently managed by the institution.
Since 1984 Euphrates has produced and presented exhibitions such as Genesis, The Evans Tibbs Collection, 1987; British Ceramics 1986; Chinatown Interiors 1986; and Gordon Parks, From the Huge Silence, 1987. Euphrates is currently developing two major exhibitions. Both of the exhibitions explore new ways in which audiences interact with exhibitions.
Euphrates mission is to encourage greater awareness and appreciation of the significant value of a multi-faceted world. This goal encourages appreciation of diversity. It also embraces the artistic and educational importance of analyzing and incorporating traditional and nontraditional technologies. With a focus on the applied and fine arts, the application of appropriate traditional and nontraditional technologies serve as communication tools to foster forums of dialogue and scholastic consideration.
