Art is a transformative force that unites us, broadens our horizons, and magnifies the many voices that shape our world. As stewards of cultural institutions, we recognize our responsibility to lead with clear purpose and resolve—addressing longstanding disparities and creating pathways of opportunity for all.
Central to our mission is a steadfast dedication to excellence in every facet of our organization. In our employment practices, we look for the most qualified and accomplished individuals available. Whether engaging guest artists, curating performances, or recruiting and supporting our staff, we ensure that talent and merit are the cornerstones of our hiring process. This commitment extends to enhancing staff success and ensuring that our patrons enjoy accessible, enriching experiences.
We dedicate ourselves to this mission with integrity, transparency, and accountability. Guided by humility, perseverance, and optimism, we learn from our past and reshape our practices to forge institutions that are dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking. By advancing equitable practices across all areas of our organization, we enhance our creative programming, broaden our community engagement, and strengthen our collective impact.
Our goal is to cultivate an environment where every artist, creative team member, and staff contributor feels respected, valued, and empowered. Every performance and event are opportunities to connect diverse audiences with diverse talent, creating experiences enriched by a multitude of perspectives and backgrounds.
We honor and celebrate the unique contributions of each individual—whether expressed through race, ethnicity, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, nationality, language, faith, or socioeconomic background. In embracing these differences, we not only enrich our artistic endeavors but also pave the way for a more inclusive and resilient future.
Together, we are building a vibrant cultural community where art inspires innovation, fosters understanding, and shapes a just and thriving society.
