Equal Opportunity

We ensure that all individuals, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, or socioeconomic background, have equal access to opportunities within our organization and programs.

Representation

We strive to reflect the diverse communities we serve in our staff, leadership, artists, and programming, recognizing that diverse perspectives enhance creativity and innovation.

 

 Education and Awareness

We provide ongoing training and resources for our staff, partners, and stakeholders to promote understanding, respect, and inclusion of diverse cultures and identities.

Accessibility

We are dedicated to making our events, exhibitions, and programs accessible to all individuals, including those with disabilities, by removing physical, social, and economic barriers.

 Community Engagement

We actively seek to involve underrepresented groups in our activities and decision-making processes, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.

Accountability

We regularly review and assess our policies and practices to ensure they align with our commitment to diversity and inclusion, making adjustments as necessary to improve our efforts.

 

By upholding these principles, the JACCK Foundation for the Arts aims to create a welcoming and equitable environment where everyone can experience the transformative power of the arts.
