DIVERSE VISUAL EXPERIENCE
COMING IN APRIL TO
Racial Diversity in Visual Art
Diversity in
the visual arts is not only important for reasons of
inclusion, but also for the cause of cultural growth and
understanding. Our racial differences in society are also
present in out creative sector. Although the
creative/artistic community has historically been more open
and accepting of people regardless of race, religion or
sexual orientation, there is still segregation and omission
in the arts. Oklahoma has shown signs of growth and
progression in addressing the lack of participation in the
main arts community by artists of color. The situation is
improving through initiatives such as Inclusion in Art. By
providing minority artists resources and opportunities, we
are also helping our art community grow through exposure to
these artists. It is mutually beneficial for those
institutions of the arts who want to be more inclusive and
the artists who are looking to contribute their gift of
creating..
Inclusion in Art continues to strive for more innovate
presentations and concepts to further enrich and diversify the Oklahoma
arts community
