Art belongs to all people. The Springfield Museum of Art embraces Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility because art and our community thrive on openness to ideas and people, regardless of background, belief, or circumstance. As a dynamic, ever-evolving Museum, we intentionally pursue an understanding of our responsibility to be a space that reflects both the world we wish to live in and the vital role we seek to fill in our community. Together, we are stronger.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0 That our museum reflects the rich experiences, stories, and perspectives of our community.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0 To acknowledge and dismantle exclusionary procedures, policies, and systems that exist within our organization in order to implement inclusive structures and practices.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0 To embody the ideals of an inclusive museum through our words, actions, marketing, and institutional body language.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0 To be a brave space and advocate for civil discourse and creativity.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0 To build a continuous and sustained awareness of and collaborative spirit toward the challenges and needs of our community.<\/p>\n
\u00bb\u00a0 To learn, grow, receive feedback, evaluate our work, and refine our efforts in the enduring pursuit of equity.<\/p>\n
