Statement on Cultural Equity

Rooted in one of the most diverse cities in the world, Corita Art Center is committed to building pathways for the multitude of voices represented in the local and broader communities we serve. As an organization centered on a female artist who championed diversity, equity, and inclusion through art, education, and social justice advocacy we are committed to championing policies and practices that empower a just, inclusive, and equitable environment within our organization and more broadly, through our public programming.

At our core, we believe that art and arts education are powerful platforms for social change. Recognizing that Corita Art Center engages in the legacy and interpretation of a single individual, we seek to preserve and promote Corita’s life and work by actively supporting a wide breadth of arts programs, exhibitions, and scholarship that cultivate open dialogue and diverse perspectives.
