Diversity & Inclusion
Arts, culture and the creative sector can offer a voice and a connector to further diversity, equity and inclusion in our workplaces, our communities and in the work we share. Assuring accessibility for all to engage with arts, culture and creative experiences is also essential. How can we take steps forward to do so? What are the tools we need? What are the conversations needed to move this important work forward?
This is a new page to help further our efforts – individually, organizationally and collectively. We will share tools, articles and best practices and invite all to share your resources with the network as well. Scroll below for links. We will continue to update them. Most of these resources are also available elsewhere on the site.
