Arts Administrators of Color

MISSION STATEMENT

The Arts Administrators of Color Network is a support network that harnesses the power of artists, arts administrators, and organizations of the people of the global majority to connect and expand their leadership across the U. S. creative sector. 

VISION STATEMENT 

We envision an anti-racist, anti-oppression, human-centered creative sector where intersectional and transformational justice are the norm and most cultural institutions are led by People of the Global Majority. 

CORE VALUES

• Community – We believe in connecting People of the Global Majority to advance, learn from, and uplift each other and celebrate the full diaspora of our experiences and identities. 
• Equity – We believe that we can only achieve liberation when the U. S. creative sector has adequately addressed the compounded effects of historic inequity and injustice, and anti-racism, anti-oppression, equity, radical truth telling, and transformational justice are permanent practices sector wide.
• Support – We believe that people are helped, authentic relationships are formed, and problems are solved, when we uplift, uphold and nurture our community.
