Diversity, Equity & Inclusion - Creative Washtenaw's Statement
Creative Washtenaw is committed to forever evolving and learning about diversity, equity and inclusion. That includes leaning in to listen to and acting on how its community, and Region 9, defines the intrinsic and aesthetic qualities of art and creativity be it by the cultural expert, the credentialed scholar, the journeyed or self-taught master or the astute consumer of the form.
The MCACA minigrants are for arts and culture. Reviewers must value diversity of culture and creativity. Experience in personal creative practice, work or extensive volunteer service at creative, cultural, science, nature or heritage organizations is as critical and perhaps more important than formal credentials.
