We invite you to join a future-oriented exploration – one we believe will lead to better lives for artists and arts workers, and greater access to arts experiences for all, and greater equity for under-represented and marginalized voices.
We understand that success in this exploration depends on centering under-represented voices, while also recognizing how power, money and status has driven, and continues to drive decision-making and allocations of resources.
Through this work, we commit to prioritizing equity not only as our own challenge we must find solutions for, but for prioritizing the actions we will focus on through an equity-based decision-making process.
As the first step, we invite you to take part in conversations that…
ASOs can work on together to think through solutions;
the arts sector is challenged by; OR
that arts either intersect with or is working through internally; AND
Lead to more equitable outcomes.
