Safety and Equity at Fort Mason Artists

Equity Statement:

Equity Statement: Fostering Inclusivity and Diversity in the Arts

At Fort Mason Artist we are committed to creating an environment that embraces equity, diversity, and inclusivity in all aspects of our operations and artistic endeavors. Our dedication to these principles is unwavering, as we believe that the arts should be a reflection of the richness and complexity of the world we inhabit.

We recognize that historically, the arts have not always been accessible to all members of our community. In light of this, we strive to dismantle barriers that have excluded underrepresented individuals and marginalized communities. We are dedicated to ensuring that our organization is a safe, welcoming, and empowering space for people of all backgrounds, identities, abilities, and perspectives.

Key principles of our equity commitment include:

  1. Representation: We actively seek diverse voices and perspectives in our programming, artistic creations, leadership, and decision-making processes. By doing so, we aim to amplify the stories and experiences of individuals who have been historically marginalized.
  2. Access: We work diligently to make our events, programs, and facilities accessible to everyone, regardless of physical abilities, socioeconomic status, or other barriers. We continuously assess and adapt our practices to ensure inclusivity.
  3. Education: We are committed to learning and growing as an organization. We engage in ongoing education to deepen our understanding of systemic inequalities and to challenge biases. We also provide resources and opportunities for our community to engage in critical conversations.
  4. Representation in Leadership: Our leadership team is dedicated to reflecting the diversity of the communities we serve. We actively seek out individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to participate in decision-making roles within the organization.
  5. Collaboration: We collaborate with diverse artists, community organizations, and stakeholders to co-create meaningful experiences that reflect the broader narratives of our society. We value partnerships that foster mutual respect and understanding.
  6. Artistic Freedom: We believe in the power of artistic expression to challenge norms, promote dialogue, and drive change. We support artists in their exploration of complex topics and encourage them to use their creativity to promote social justice.
  7. Accountability: We hold ourselves accountable to the principles of equity and inclusivity. We regularly assess our progress, acknowledge areas for improvement, and transparently communicate our efforts to the community.

Our commitment to equity is an ongoing journey, one that requires continuous self-reflection and action. We welcome feedback from our community, recognizing that the perspectives of those we serve are integral to shaping our path forward.

By prioritizing equity, diversity, and inclusivity, we aspire to contribute to a more just and harmonious society through the transformative power of the arts.
