Caring for our Community

The Wyoming Fine Arts Center values the development of an individual’s full and unique potential through the arts and that this unique expression makes stronger, better communities. We aim to provide a vibrant community hub that enriches lives through the joy of learning, creating, and experiencing all forms of the arts, by and for all people of varied ages, races, abilities, and backgrounds. We seek to nurture these unique voices and be equitable in our decisions; being mindful of their impact on other groups and people. We expect our actions demonstrate our care for others and for our community as a whole. 

We strive for diversity in our programming to reflect the diversity of our students and the wider community at large. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion and belonging in our organization through our: 

• Guests
• Partners and relationships
• Faculty/staff
• Students
• Board members
• Programs and programming outreach
• Vendors

We value:

1. Diversity - the differences in our backgrounds, socioeconomic status, culture, gender, race, religions, ethnicities, and unique perspectives and talents.
2. Equity - the fair treatment of all and abundance of opportunities, leveling the field for all populations.
3. Inclusion - feeling welcome, a sense of belonging, where voices that have been historically excluded are heard and all feel a part of the creative community. 
4. Access - being open to all regardless of differences such as socio-economic barriers and physical abilities.  Making it easy to reach, easy to use our spaces and easy to express unique voices.   

We expect to be treated and to treat others with respect and courtesy, regardless of race, color, religion, creed, age, sex, national origin or ancestry, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, or status as a qualified disabled or handicapped individual. We respect the opinions of and the differences among individuals, including diversity among points of view. 

We will conduct our organizational and operational duties with positive leadership exemplified by open and candid communication, creativity, dedication, and compassion.

We will treat each other, and others, fairly creating a safe space where diversity, equity, inclusion, and access are encouraged and respected.
