Diversity and Cultural Equity

A major impediment to achieving more diversity in the arts and culture industry is that while all agree that concrete changes must be made, there has been a lack of insight into how and what these changes should entail to garner results. Therefore, in order to help theaters and their leaders achieve their goals of greater cultural equity and diversity, Embracing Arlington Arts is planning to offer a comprehensive training and educational project for non-profit arts organizations on best practices for achieving better cultural equity – a MUST for the long-term viability of the arts sector. This multi-episode podcast series on diversity.  Black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC) leaders are asked their thoughts on the most important changes needed in the arts industry to make it more equitable. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) experts would then provide concrete action items using case studies, tools, leadership initiatives, etc. to help arts organizations achieve more diversity and based on the changes needed cited by the BIPOC leaders.
