Adopted by the Arrowmont Board of Governors, May 21, 2023
A few years ago, Arrowmont Board of Governors adopted a diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility policy that simply stated says, “Arrowmont is for ALL and ALL are welcome.” Since that time, Arrowmont has worked to honor and uphold this statement in all its endeavors.
Arrowmont does not share the values of those who oppress, endanger, and silence others. Arrowmont’s campus will always strive to be a haven to marginalized peoples who desire a voice, share a song, a dance, an idea, or a creative vision, and we continue to welcome everyone to our campus to enrich ALL lives through art and craft.
We ask that all members of the community of artists that we serve stand in allyship with us—support the work of marginalized community members, volunteer, speak out, take a class, or just be there for someone who needs your support. We are standing up—we encourage you to do likewise.
