Acknowledge and dismantle any inequities within our By-Laws, programs, and services. In selecting board and staff members, Mudflat will consider the barriers and factors that often stand in the way of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and people with disabilities entering and thriving in the arts community. Commit time and resources to increase diversity particularly at the leadership level within our board, staff and committees. Develop a system to be more intentional and conscious of bias during the hiring, promotion, or evaluation process. Expand offerings for underrepresented artists. By connecting with other arts organizations committed to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. Through scholarship opportunities By offering arts education through more equitable means.
