DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION STATEMENT

As an organization dedicated to supporting art and artists, Summit Art affirms that art is based on individual expression, and that all individuals have a right to that expression.  We also believe that a diversity of individual expression makes for better art, a better community, and for Summit Art, a better organization.

To that end, Summit Art commits to fulfilling its stated mission free of discrimination, without bias based on sexual orientation, age, race, ethnicity, culture, religion, international origin, physical abilities, socio-economic status, or gender identity.  Summit Art is committed to maintaining an environment that nourishes respect for the dignity of each member as well as its employees, volunteers, directors and contractors.  Summit Art will proactively seek to achieve diversity and cultural equity in its leadership, partnerships and programs.
