Our commitment to diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion

From Charlottesville to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and the failure of justice for Jacob Blake, recent events have underscored how deep-seated white supremacy and racial violence are in this country.

As part of Smith College, “We recognize that white supremacist legacies, historic and systemic, have affected and continue to affect not only Black lives but also those of many other races and identities.”—Smith O.E.I.

Art museums, including ours, have contributed to racist structures through choices of what artworks to collect and how, and whose stories about art and history are told and by whom. We are working to create a genuinely inclusive and anti-racist museum that reflects the diversity of the campus community that is at the heart of our mission.
