We recognize that barriers to participation in the arts exist, including those shaped by race, income, ability, age, and lived experience. As a community arts organization, we have a responsibility to help address these inequities by building inclusive, accessible, and responsive programs and spaces. We are committed to:

• Continually learning and unlearning as part of our work

• Building relationships rooted in trust, respect, and community voice

• Expanding access through scholarships, inclusive programming, and outreach

• Creating spaces where all people feel seen, valued, and safe

• Holding ourselves accountable through reflection, feedback, and measurable progress

We know this work is ongoing. We approach it with humility, curiosity, and a deep belief in the power of the arts to connect, heal, and transform. Thank you for being here.
