Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion are embedded in the Denmark Arts Center’s mission to bring people together, celebrate our community’s richness, and foster connection between artists and audiences.

DIVERSITY: Support the arts and cultural activity by welcoming and supporting people regardless of their background, language, race, ethnicity, ability, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, family structure, lived experiences, and beyond.

EQUITY: Commit to providing services and programs in an environment that demonstrates consistency and fairness to our artists, audiences, supporters, and community.

INCLUSION: Nurture and inspire the arts in our community and broader region by demonstrating that differences have worth, dignity, and value, and offer the potential for immense inspiration. We strive to create a community in which all members feel valued, respected, and welcome.
