Pro-Equity Anti-Racism

The Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture, an agency of the State of Washington, is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment where everyone can see themselves reflected in our values, staff, and activities. We are committed to fostering strong relationships and providing space for all voices and stories to be heard, celebrated, and shared. We aim to be essential to the social and cultural life of our region by embracing diverse perspectives and engaging the entire community while preserving our shared heritage and inspiring future generations.

As part of our commitment to the equitable treatment of all people, we promise to use our influence to oppose discrimination in all its forms, recognizing that inclusion alone is not enough. We pledge to take intentional, ongoing actions that challenge systemic racism, and uplift marginalized communities to ensure that our museum becomes a place of true belonging for everyone.
