For Kids
Our Commitment
Spokane Arts recognizes that structural inequities in the U.S. have excluded individuals and communities from opportunities based on race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, class, age, geography, and more. We strive to counter those inequities in our work, and we’re working to build an organization that reflects the diversity of our arts community and region, including staff, board members, consultants, volunteers, and other collaborators.
We are committed to ensuring everyone has access to Spokane Arts opportunities and events. To request an accommodation for a Spokane Arts event or program, please contact kerri@spokanearts.org. For accommodations for events sponsored by other organizations and individuals, please reach out directly to the event organizers.

MONUMENT REMOVAL RECOMMENDED BY CITIZENS’ ADVISORY COUNCIL
Spokane Arts stands with the Pacific Islander community in asking city officials to remove this statue. Removing it would be one step toward correcting inaccurate history and toward healing the communities harmed.
