To Our Valued Community:

George Floyd was murdered over a year ago and it feels like the world has shifted seismically since then, finally acknowledging the persistence of the cruel racial and economic disparities that blight our country. The Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill counts inclusivity as a core value but we have not achieved the diversity to which we aspire. Our Board and Staff welcome this moment of historical change and the opportunity it presents to examine ourselves and make the changes necessary to create an arts community that welcomes, serves and nurtures Black, Asian, LatinX and all Indigenous artists.

We strive to create an environment that encourages artists of all types and experiences, but we clearly still have far to go. We will begin by immediately establishing a committee of board members, staff and faculty and giving them a charge to examine our practices to identify instances of implicit bias and ways in which we operate that may discourage broader participation. They will recommend changes needed to remove obstacles and things we must do proactively to extend our hand to engage actively with under-represented communities. We will examine our leadership, our partnerships and our programs to find ways to do better. We aim to do this as soon as we possibly can.

We stand in support of those who have dedicated themselves to the struggle for racial and economic justice. We commit to doing our part.
